Alabaster For Tomorrow has designed a comprehensive program to prevent alcohol use and tobacco use among youth ages 12-18 in Alabaster, Alabama. The project addresses factors in the community that increase the risk of substance use and promotes factors that minimize the risks of substance use. Alabaster For Tomorrow is a cohesive multi-sectoral community coalition that addresses youth substance use in the City of Alabaster (Total population of 33,873) through following the Strategic Prevention Framework. We implement evidence-based and practice-based prevention strategies and activities to achieve the following two goals: Goal 1: Establish and strengthen collaboration among community stakeholders and organizations to address youth substance use.; and Goal 2: Reduce substance use among youth and, over time, reduce substance use among adults by addressing the factors in a community that increase the risk of substance use and promoting the factors that minimize the risk of substance use. Alabaster For Tomorrow has developed a comprehensive 12-Month Action Plan (Work Plan) that incorporates the goals of the DFC Grant and utilizes the Seven Strategies for Community-Level Change. Strategies include providing information, enhancing skills, providing support, reducing access/enhancing barriers, changing consequences, changing physical design and educating and informing about changing policies that reduce access and availability of alcohol and tobacco in Alabaster, Alabama.
