1-on-1 Interviews

Community organizing is about getting "real people" involved and mobilized, not creating staff driven initiatives. Our Coalition is currently working on a new endeavor in order to raise awareness about our community’s issues regarding youth access to alcohol. In order to find out the views of those who live and work in Marshall county, Coalition members are conducting a series of one-on-one conversations about youth access to alcohol through the Communities Mobilizing for Change (CMCA) curriculum. If we talk with community members who have some expertise and concerns about youth drinking and sales, the Coalition will gain a better understanding for what the community's concerns are, and what has been done thus far regarding the issue.

If you would like to participate in these one-on-one interviews, or if you would like to become a part of the Marshall County Anti-Drug Coalition and its efforts to reduce substance abuse in our community, please contact us. We eagerly anticipate hearing from and working with you!
