Mission
To promote health and wellness and reduce harm from substance use among youth and adults.
Vision
Through the involvement of a broad-based coalition of community members, we want to promote a lifestyle free from alcohol and other drug harm, consequently improving the quality of life on our campus and within the community.
Working goals
Goal #1: Build capacity around alcohol and other drug awareness, prevention, and treatment by acting as a resource for the community.
Goal #2: Change the campus and community culture surrounding the inappropriate promotion and use of alcohol and other drugs by utilizing environmental strategies.
Goal #3: Promote a safe community for youth, people who are nondrinkers, and those in recovery by limiting the access to alcohol and the places where alcohol can be served by utilizing community intervention strategies.
Values
A2C3 strives to manifest the intersection between social justice and public health. We do this by working together to better understand the connections between systemic inequities that could impact our mission. We work to address all forms of oppression and discrimination, including actions that attempt to silence, threaten, and marginalize any member of our community.
