National Capital Coalition to Prevent Underage Drinking (NCCPUD)

The National Capital Coalition to Prevent Underage Drinking (NCCPUD), is a 501 c(3) organization operating since 1997 dedicated to preventing and reducing underage drinking in and around Washington, DC. NCCPUD members include groups, organizations and persons representing communities, local government, school systems, police departments, parents, youth and youth serving agencies. Together they are addressing the major factors that contribute to the problem of underage drinking -- easy access to alcohol, parent attitudes and behaviors and alcohol advertising. NCCPUD's Mission is to organize, advocate, educate and build the capacity of local public and private organizations, youth and the community to reduce underage drinking and related harms. NCCPUD's Goals are to advocate for environmental policies and practices to reduce underage drinking and unhealthy outcomes related to all substance abuse; Build the capacity of the community to develop and implement evidence based strategies to protect young people from the risk of alcohol and other drugs; Use media and communications as a education tool to change public perspectives and attitudes to lead the reduction of underage drinking and related harms; Organize and support grassroots response to the consequences of substance abuse in the community; and To involve youth at every level within the organization to effectively achieve the mission of NCCPUD The NCCPUD youth advocates represent various high schools in the District. Currently we have trained over 400 advocates as peer leaders on the prevention of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.
