Purpose
Community Challenge is a non-profit, community-based corporation that provides select programs and services for youth, parents, and others who impact those youth. Working in concert with school systems and various facets of the community, it offers a public presence and an active plan to address the most serious problem facing youth today - the use of alcohol and other drugs.
Programming
Community Challenge provides age-appropriate awareness, prevention and early intervention services to youth, through adolescence, as well as to the adults who influence those youth, parents, families, school personnel, city officials, church communities, and local youth employers.
It provides a comprehensive, multi-dimensional program to meet the following goals:
Awareness - to promote a public awareness of the problem of youth alcohol and other drug use within the community;
Prevention - to reduce the probability that the community's youth will become harmfully involved with alcohol and other drugs;
Early Intervention - to reduce the probability that youth who are experimenting will continue involvement with alcohol and other drugs. |
