We took a group from our Youth Coalition to Washington D.C. for a CADCA convention!
Before we dive in, it’s important to understand what is CADCA. CADCA stands for Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America. The organization is a non-profit, with a mission to assist communities in preventing drug use. Their aim is also to uplift and support individuals with the tools and resources needed for a better tomorrow. In addition, to their core value, CADCA has a Youth Leadership program designed to support young people with community engagement, leadership, and advocacy! To find out more about CADCA, click here!
Our most important day was Capital Hill Day! We were able to directly advocate to our members of Congress regarding substance use prevention and priorities within our local community. We are excited to share the valuable tools and resources that we have learned with you!
