The Austin Drug-Free Youth Coalition brings together community members, youth, and local leaders to prevent underage drinking and youth substance use. We focus on education, awareness, and long-term solutions that help young people stay safe, healthy, and supported.
We gather up-to-date information to understand emerging issues and where youth access risks exist.
We provide trainings and presentations throughout the community on youth use trends, access issues, and research-based prevention approaches.
We partner with Austin leaders to strengthen policies on where retail outlets can operate, how many are allowed, and how product sales are monitored.
As Austin grows, youth access and exposure to substances continue to increase—making prevention more important than ever.
Stores and products sold in and around the Austin area.
Austin youth report higher-than-average rates of alcohol and cannabis use—and many say these substances are easy to access. This affects health, safety, learning, and our entire community.
Whether you’re a parent, student, prevention advocate, educator, business owner, or community leader—your voice matters. Join the coalition. Learn more. Help create a safer Austin for our youth.
