The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) supports the Drug Free Communities (DFC) Program, which provides grants to community-based coalitions to strengthen the infrastructure among local partners to create and sustain a reduction in local youth substance use.  Recognizing that local problems need local solutions, DFC-funded coalitions engage multiple sectors of the community and employ a variety of environmental strategies to address local substance use problems.

LEAD Phillipsburg: Learn, Educate, Advocate, Develop Drug Free Community Coalition was developed to reduce substance use for youth in Phillipsburg and the surrounding sending districts.  LEAD Phillipsburg will collaboratively build capacity and demonstrate leadership to effectively integrate prevention and environmental strategies to decrease underage drinking, tobacco and marijuana use among youth.
