Got Outcomes! Butte Youth Now Coalition

The Butte Youth Now Coalition won CADCA’s Got Outcomes! Coalition of the Year Award in the “Intermediate Outcomes Category,” which recognizes coalitions that are showing progress toward meeting long-term outcomes. The group implemented a variety of strategies to reduce binge drinking among youth, tobacco and methamphetamine use. While still in the process of implementing their long-range plan, the coalition is on the right path to meeting its goals, helping to pass several environmental strategies to reduce the availability of alcohol and change the community’s lax attitudes toward underage drinking. Among other things, the group implemented the Parents Who Hose Lose the Most campaign and created more learning opportunities for youth to increase their protective factors.
