What is Community 2000?

Community 2000 is a network of volunteer, community teams focusing on reducing the incidence of substance use and abuse in their communities and changing community norms toward substance use by youth and others. Organization and development of Community 2000 teams was initiated in 1993. Each team is composed of community volunteers from the area served. Teams receive technical assistance and training from the regional support center (Tri-County Mental Health Services, Inc.) on a variety of topics related to their organization development and organizing and implementing prevention strategies. A 1998 evaluation of the Community 2000 program concluded that Community 2000 teams have the potential for making a difference in their communities. There are approximately 200 volunteer groups registered with the Community 2000 program.

The Northland Coalition is a Community 2000 team.  It serves as the umbrella for all the Community 2000 teams, sharing the geographic boundaries of the school district that it represents, in Clay, Platte and Ray counties.  The Northland Coalition partners with the Community 2000 teams and other prevention partners to host a variety of programs that are implemented across the three-county area.  The local Community 2000 teams in Clay, Platte and Ray counties host community-based prevention programs that focus on local community issues.    They also implement the Northland Coalition programs in a manner that fits best for their individual demographics.
