Nopal Coalition

Nopal Coalition NOPAL is a community driven coalition focused on reducing youth substance abuse and the harms associated with it in Sunnyslope, AZ.

The North Phoenix Prevention Alliance (NOPAL) coalition is a community driven organization focused on reducing youth substance abuse and the harms associated with it. Our work in the Sunnyslope community focuses on the VAMOS sub-committee, a volunteer based youth group that uses a leadership curriculum to reach youth and their peers with positive anti-drug messaging. Other programming includes pro

viding families with Rx Armory prescription drug safes to keep drugs out of the hands of youth in the home, an adult peer-leader program, the annual 4/20 Bowl-Out, and community education presentations. The coalition facilitator will come to your location and provide an informative presentation on the risks, harms and consequences of ma*****na use for youth as well as how medical ma*****na has impacted Arizona. Contact us today for a presentation! As of July 2015, NOPAL will now incorporate underage drinking and the risks posed by alcohol use and abuse by adolescents into its mission.
