What is the All In Clayton Coalition?

The role of a coalition is to achieve community level change.  For All In, our “change” is to reduce and prevent youth substance use in the Clayton community.

How do we create change? As with most things in life, change doesn’t happen overnight.  It takes a community-minded approach and time to begin to see positive outcomes. All In is committed to the long haul. We implement a variety of strategies to help us achieve our key objectives:

All In Clayton Coalition Key Objectives

Prevent substance use among Clayton Youth
Reduce the prevalence of substance use disorders in Clayton
Educate the Clayton community on key issues related to substance use disorders
Advocate for policies and practices that prevent substance use among Clayton youth.

Who funds All In? The coalition was awarded a federal, five year grant through Drug Free Communities in partnership with the Center for Disease Control in Oct. 2019. The School District of Clayton serves as the fiscal agent for the grant, for which All In is extremely grateful.
