2) refine and expand after-school programs to include a variety of services that address multiple risk factors such as additional education opportunities via parent workshops and classroom presentations;
3) facilitate cooperation among multiple youth-serving organizations through coalition programs focused on prevention programs, referral or accessibility to evaluation and, if necessary, treatment services;
4) increase the perception of the harmful effects of alcohol, tobacco, and alcohol through a targeted media awareness campaign; and
5) strengthen the coalition through membership development, training, and increased collaboration with new community organizations.
