The purpose of this project, Alabaster For Tomorrow's Drug Free Communities Support Grant, is to prevent youth substance use in the City of Alabaster targeting youth in grades 6-12. The Coalition serves Alabaster, Alabama, a community of 32,567.

The coalition will achieve its goals by implementing these strategies: Providing information to increase awareness of the coalition and to recruit new members; strengthen the skills of the Thompson High School Peer Helpers to enhance protective factors in students at the middle and high school level; provide information and awareness regarding the risk of marijuana and alcohol use; provide support for at-risk youth with needed resources; enhance the skills of parents to discuss the dangers of underage alcohol and marijuana use; and reduce the availability of alcohol and drug paraphernalia to youth in the City of Alabaster.
