Membership in CADCA
It’s been said, “Membership has its privileges.” That is true for CADCA members as well. CADCA’s mission is to create and strengthen the capacity of new and existing coalitions to build safe, healthy and drug-free communities.

Your membership with CADCA supports:

• Public Policy initiatives, funding and technical assistance opportunities in the substance abuse prevention and treatment field
• Local solutions to substance abuse and violence
• Collaborative partnerships for continued research, training and education in the substance abuse and treatment field
• CADCA’s National Leadership Forum and Mid-Year Training Institute

Who can be a member?
Anyone can become a member who has interest in supporting local coalitions in the development of partnerships to make their communities safe, healthy and drug-free.
Members include: parents, teachers, young people, law enforcement, health providers, the faith community, business and civic leaders, elected officials and concerned citizens.
If you are not already a member of a coalition, CADCA can help you get involved.
If your community has no coalition, CADCA can help you start a coalition.
If you already are a member of an active coalition, CADCA can provide the support and expertise to keep your mission in the forefront of Congress’ agenda.
