Our intended audience is anyone interested in public health topics and youth prevention in East Texas and beyond. We will share the voices of high school seniors in our Drug Free All Star program and share updates of different prevention topics that affect our region. The Coalition is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit in Lufkin, Tx, serving parts of East Texas, intent on keeping the youth of our community away from drugs, alcohol and tobacco. We were established in 1988 by area superintendents who saw drugs as a problem and wanted a county-wide prevention program.
