Let's Refresh Our Coalition

A Fresh Start for a Stronger Community: Drug Free Coweta’s 2024-2025 Refres


As we step into a new chapter, Drug Free Coweta is excited to announce a fresh start. Our coalition has always been about coming together—neighbors, educators, parents, local leaders—all united under the common goal of building a healthier, safer, and drug-free environment for everyone in Coweta County. After a quieter period, we’re ready to hit the ground running, and we want you by our side.


What’s New and Why It Matters


Think of this as a relaunch—a chance to breathe new life into our efforts, challenge old barriers, and make space for innovative ideas. Our mission remains the same: to protect our community from the harms of substance misuse. What’s changing is how we approach it. We’re refocusing on collaboration and communication, ensuring that every voice is heard and every good idea sees the light of day.


Regular Meetings to Keep Us Connected


Communication is key. To make it easier for everyone to stay involved, we’re establishing a regular schedule of coalition and leadership team meetings. By having predictable, ongoing opportunities to connect, we hope to ensure that no one feels left out. These meetings will be a space where you can bring up emerging issues, share success stories, and help brainstorm solutions.


Welcoming New Members & Fresh Perspectives


One of the most exciting parts of this refresh is our renewed commitment to recruiting new members. Maybe you’re a business owner who wants to support local youth, a concerned parent who’s ready to roll up your sleeves, or a student who wants to make a difference. We need all of you. When diverse voices join together, our strategies become richer, more inclusive, and more effective.


Shaping the Future Through Youth Engagement


Our youth are our future leaders—and they deserve to be at the heart of this work. That’s why we’re planning a Youth Summit in April 2025, a gathering that will empower Coweta’s young people to speak up, learn from each other, and connect with local mentors. This summit isn’t just an event—it’s the start of an ongoing conversation about how to best support our kids, both inside and outside the classroom.


Your Input Drives Our Success


We know that meaningful change can’t happen from the top down; it has to come from the entire community. That’s why we’re kicking off our refresh with an interest survey to gather ideas, concerns, and suggestions. Whether you’ve been with us since day one or you’re brand-new to the coalition, your input matters. Together, we can identify what’s working, what needs improvement, and how to chart a course toward a healthier tomorrow.


Join Us in Making 2024-2025 a Turning Point


This refresh is about more than just new meeting dates and updated goals—it’s about rekindling the spirit of togetherness that has always guided Drug Free Coweta. We’re rolling up our sleeves and moving forward with confidence and purpose, and we’re doing it side-by-side with the community we love.


So, here’s our invitation: Be a part of the coalition’s future. Share your voice, bring your questions, lend your talents. Help us shape programs, policies, and initiatives that truly reflect what Coweta County stands for. With your support, we can create a lasting impact that resonates for years to come.
