What is the Community Coalition? The Community Coalition consists of ANY individual in or around Knoxville that wants to help create a healthy and safe community free of substance misuse. Participation can increase knowledge of substance misuse and the tough issues our community is facing today. Each year, members of the Coalition create goals and projects focused on community education and reducing substance misuse in Knoxville. Anyone interested in making a positive impact in the community through prevention activities is encouraged to attend. A few hours of your time each month can make a big difference! By working together, we can create positive, lasting changes in Knoxville.
