Young Adult Development Association of Havasu Founded in 2009, Young Adult Development Association of Havasu (YADAH) is a community coalition formed in Lake Havasu City to address the needs of our youth. This group of concerned citizens meets monthly to discuss local youth substance use/abuse/misuse and plans strategies to combat access to alcohol, marijuana, prescription drugs used illegally and other drugs as they may become problematic. YADAH addresses community specific problems while also collaborating with nearby community coalitions to form a unified front toward increasing protective factors and decreasing risk factors for youth in the greater Lake Havasu City area and Mohave County. 2019 Walk Away from Drugs Event Mission and Vision Our Mission: Our mission is to bring knowledge and activities to LHC through active engagement of community members to facilitate the maintenance of healthy lifestyles for our youth and their families. Our Vision: A drug free community that empowers and enriches the lives of our youth and families. What is a Coalition? Community coalitions are increasingly used as a vehicle to foster improvements in community health. A coalition is traditionally defined as “a group of individuals representing diverse organizations, factions or constituencies who agree to work together to achieve a common goal.” Community coalitions are composed of diverse organizations that form an alliance in order to pursue a common goal. The activities of community coalitions include outreach, education, prevention, service delivery, capacity building, empowerment, community action, and systems change. 2022 Hobbies not Habits Event WANT TO SPONSOR HOBBIES NOT HABITS OR WALK AWAY FROM DRUGS EVENTS ?

Horizon of Hope Transitional Living Program Arizona Youth Partnerships's Horizon of Hope Transitional Living Program seeks to serve the rural, underserved community of Mohave County, AZ and the surrounding rural areas . Youth homelessness is not just an urban issue. Mohave County is the 3rd largest county in the US by square miles that includes many surrounding small rural communities with street-bound youth. Homeless youth in rural areas are especially challenged because there are fewer services and resources available to them. The project will enhance services for youth ages 16-22, through outreach, gateway services, case management, stable housing and aftercare services. Contact: Kelly Tanner 928.718.0442 Kelly@AZYP.org

The mission of the Copper Basin Coalition is to empower the youth and adults in Southern Gila County to choose a drug-free and healthy lifestyle by uniting citizens and organizations to reduce substance abuse and promote community safety through community-based education, awareness, and advocacy The Coalition utilizes the Strategic Prevention Framework to design its yearly action plan utilizing proven strategies to lower youth use of drugs and alcohol and increase protective factors such as school and neighborhood attachment, conflict resolution skills, healthy parenting skills, and strong social supports.
