Who We Are
As a membership coalition, KACF is made up of numerous agencies, organizations, and individuals that cross over every sector of the community. The diversity of our membership includes youth, parents, business community, media, schools, youth-serving organizations, law enforcement agencies, religious and fraternal organizations, civic groups, healthcare professionals, as well as agencies and organizations with expertise in substance abuse. Having participation from these sectors of the community allows us to share important information and collaborate on programs and events between community members that have the highest level of impact on our youth and families.
Many of our members are from service organizations that work directly with families and youth, or community issues that directly affect these segments of the population. KACF is actively expanding membership to include community leaders as well as the “general” public so individuals, parents, and youth will become more involved in our efforts.
In October 2004, KACF was awarded a Drug-Free Communities Program grant which allowed us to hire one full-time Executive Director and a part-time Program Support person to focus on capacity building as well as creating and utilizing existing partnerships and collaborations to implement prevention programs and activities through out Kootenai County. Tammy Rubino was welcomed as the new Executive Director. Karin von Krenner has been named as the Project Coordinator.

Marijuana: Fact or Fiction?
And the answers: all are fiction. In fact, community and parental complacence about marijuana are based on these common misconceptions.
Parents and other adults can make a difference by challenging the myths!
To learn more about these marijuana myths and what you can do to teach children the truth about marijuana use download the 12-page booklet, “Marijuana—Debunking the Myths” from the Community Anti-drug Coalitions of America® and the Office of National Drug Control Policy at www.mediacampaign.org or by clicking here. |
