This Coalition, funded by Youth Crime Watch of America (YCWA), consists of over 114 Youth and Crime and Drug Watch Clubs from schools, public housing sites, and community centers.  These youth-led Clubs work to create drug-free and crime-free environments in schools and neighborhoods and work to: 1) provide crime-free, drug-free school and community environments for learning and living; 2) instill positive values, foster good citizenship and build self-confidence in our young people; and 3) enable youth to become resources for preventing drug abuse and other crimes in their schools and neighborhoods.  Through a variety of trainings and events, which include: weekend leadership retreats, implementation trainings, teleconferences, and an annual National Youth Crime Prevention Conference; YCWA promotes good citizenship where youth are seen as part of the solution and take an active role in addressing the problems around them.
