View Award Description

Youth Empowerment Drug Free Coalition - The Youth Empowerment Drug-Free Coalition (YE DFC) is proposing a comprehensive initiative aimed at reducing youth alcohol and marijuana use while fostering sustainable community-level change in Broward County, Florida with a focus on the Pompano Beach jurisdiction. Over the next five years, YE DFC seeks to achieve significant reductions in alcohol and marijuana use among youth through evidence-based strategies and collaborative efforts across 12 vital sectors. The coalition plans to convene quarterly stakeholder meetings, conduct needs assessments, and collect baseline data to inform tailored prevention strategies. Initiatives such as Youth Mental Health First Aid training and the 'Talk They Hear You' campaign aim to identify early onset mental health issues in youth and strengthen communication between parents and children about alcohol and marijuana use. Addressing health disparities and adverse childhood experiences, YE DFC will focus on providing equitable access to prevention services and amplifying youth voices in policy-making. Establishing Youth Frontliners and a network of community resources will further support sustained advocacy and access to prevention services. These objectives and strategies are integral to fostering sustainable, community-level change and ultimately improving well-being while reducing alcohol and marijuana use across the community.
