Community Coalition

kids playing on fieldThe LINCS Family Center recently received a grant from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) to build community capacity to identify and implement programs and resources that ensure the well-being and healthy development of community youth.
The objective of the Community Coalition Capacity Building (CCCB) grant is to enable community coalitions to recruit key stakeholders, collect data, and develop collaborative relationships with school districts in order to provide youth with supports, resources, and opportunities needed to become successful adults.

The coalition will apply the Communities That Care (CTC) model throughout their activities. CTC is an evidence-based coalition model that targets the prevention of substance misuse, school dropout, delinquency, violence, and mental health among youth in Pennsylvania.
The CTC model helps communities to develop and maintain collaborative relationships and partnerships within a local community to promote healthy youth development. Communities That Care has been widely implemented with demonstrated success throughout communities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania since 1998.

Organizations or individuals interested in joining the community coalition or those who would like more information about the project can contact Trina Johnson-Brady at 484-373-6200 or at tjohnsonbrady@wilsonareasd.org.
