WELCOME TO THE GATEWAY IMPACT COALITION

The Gateway ImpACT Coalition is a community coalition. Often, community problems or issues are too large and complex for any one agency or organization. In those circumstances, putting together a coalition of groups and individuals can be an effective strategy for bringing the community's resources to bear, and getting everyone moving in the same direction. The Gateway ImpACT Coalition is a group of individuals and/or organizations with a common interest who agree to work together toward a common goal.  

Purpose: Coordinating and empowering Clinton community area’s effort to keep our communities healthy, safe, and drug free.

Vision: To create a community free from unhealthy use and abuse of substances.

Mission: The Gateway ImpACT Coalition, through collaboration, works to develop solutions to community problems that are related to the unhealthy use and abuse of substances through the process of facilitation, cooperation, education, and communication.

While 2021 has been a challenging year for most non-profits like ours, we see that the need is even greater. Parents, caregivers, and communities are struggling to keep their families safe and engaged during these unprecedented times. We are looking at innovative ways to remain engaged with youth and their communities and continue efforts to prevention youth substance use. While we have made some great strides, we still have a lot to accomplish. We need your support to reach out to youth and families to prevent substance use.
