Our vision is to create a healthy and safe community for all people.
Mission
The White Swan Community Coalition works to realize its vision by honoring the voices of the community and by being advocates for communication and education. Our actions consistently promote positive change for all creation, which includes
- establishing community collaboration to prevent and reduce substance abuse among youth and ultimately adults,
- addressing the factors in the community that increase the risk of substance abuse, and
- promoting the factors that minimize the risk of substance abuse.
Diversity & Equity Statement
The White Swan Community Coalition is committed to inclusion, equity, and justice. We strive to foster collaboration and belonging among our diverse local communities, and we are dedicated to centering those voices most marginalized by systems of oppression.
