Examples of ACWA’s work
ACWA partners with area schools and law enforcement to distribute a letter to parents of graduating seniors encouraging substance-free celebrations.
ACWA coalition members attend a wide variety of community events and celebrations to provide resources to share information with the goal of preventing youth substance use.
Our coalition collaborated with several community partners to hold an interactive Substance Use Prevention Event for seventh and eighth graders at Prairie Winds and Dakota Meadows Middle Schools. Around 1,200 middle school students engaged with the ACWA booth, which featured a trivia game and resources. Partners included Mankato Area Public Schools, Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato, Beyond Brink, Minnesota State University Mankato, SHIP - Brown, Nicollet, Le Sueur and Waseca Counties, the American Lung Association, and others.
