Community Empowerment Enhance the ability of grassroots level community groups to pian and develop strategies to reduce environmental risk factors in their community. Community is used to mean a geographic target area, an ethnic/cultural group or a special needs group (HIV/AIDS seropositive, sight/hearing impaired, developmentally disabled, etc.) Leadership Enhancement Youth and adult leaders among the target group populations will be identified and provided with the resources to develop and enhance their leadership abilities and to be role models. Service Systems Coordination Shy t the emphasis among providers within services systems to a concept of response to client established needs. Instead of individual service systems establishing goals independent of one another and the target populations, the target groups will establish goals to which the service systems will design coordinated responses. The goal in this component is to use limited resources to address locally established priorities to the extent possible. County -Wide Coalition The county -wide coalition will build upon the foundation provident by the Master Plan Substance Abuse Task Force formed in 1990. This group will incorporate members of the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Boards, service provider and the business community. Each coalition member brings its resources to be used by the Coalition. The Coalition provides direction and oversight to the Prevention Partnership Project. It will maintain primary responsibility for county -wide impact on workplace issues, multimedia messages and marketing the goals of the project. David M.
