Who We Are

Established in 2010, the Teen Advocacy Coalition is a grassroots coalition dedicated to creating community wellness by strengthening collaborative relationships between and among service providers, youth, parents, and other community volunteers. TAC supports or directly implements strategies designed to decrease youth substance use and promote mental health among teens in North Pacific County. 

Awareness

Collaboration

Action

We educate on wellness topics that affect families and youth in our community. We work to increase knowledge and skills to effectively address problem behaviors. 

TAC supports collaboration among and between partner agencies, volunteers, and other community stakeholders that support youth and families. 

We support direct services to youth and families and encourage partnerships to reduce duplication in services and to increase collaboration.
