Chicanos Por La Causa's Nahui Ollin Program will build substance use prevention capacity and infrastructure in Pima County, Arizona, through a multi-pronged approach consisting of the evidence-based practice Project Towards No Drug Abuse, educational workshops such as Mental Health First Aid and Naloxone training, fairs, in-classroom curriculum, community collaboration, and youth leadership and empowerment training. NOWP goals are based on the premise that changes at the community level occur with culturally sensitive education and prevention services, and will reduce and prevent the impact of substance misuse, teen pregnancy, and risky behaviors in high risk and underserved minority youth, ages 13 to 18, as well as adults. CPLC and the Nahui Ollin program seek to empower empower youth to make good choices, lead successful lives and build strong communities. We expect to impact 300 individuals per grant year for a total of 1500 over 5 years.
