NAGHSR Underage Drinking Prevention Project Contact List
The following resources represent a comprehensive list of organizations that have an interest in or knowledge about underage drinking issues. The list begins with the individuals and organizations involved in the National Association of Governors Highway Safety Representatives (NAGHSR) Underage Drinking Project, including the names and contact information for the original five pilot sites and the six communities that participated in the rapid response team model.
Following this contact information is a list of national organizations.

The mission of Project Extra Mile is To create a community
consensus that clearly states that underage alcohol use is
illegal, unhealthy, and unacceptable. To accomplish this
mission, the project organized a community coalition with
representation from public and private schools, law enforcement,
the hospitality industry, prevention and safety groups, youth,
health agencies and organizations, child advocacy groups,
employee assistance programs, the faith community, prosecutors,
emergency nurses, the media, and others. A nine-month needs
assessment process, that was undertaken in 1996, continues to
drive the coalitions strategic plan which includes a
variety of activities and programs including testimony to the
state legislature, compliance checks of businesses licensed to
sell alcohol, media advocacy, and training of high school
students. The group also works with law enforcement, school
administrators, parents, coaches and others to insure a clear,
no-use message is communicated to underage youth. In 1999, the
organization was honored by the National Commission Against Drunk
Driving (NCADD) with their Community Award.

educational safe driving information. One focus of the program is
to train parents to be better driving instructors for their
children. The group also runs the DUI Means campaign
to help teens understand the consequences of impaired driving.

The Travis County Underage Drinking Prevention Program (UDPP)
receives federal funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration through a grant administered by the Texas
Department of Transportation. The UDPP conducts anti-DWI/alcohol
awareness public education programs for Travis County schools,
participates in community events and health fairs and hosts
Underage Drinking Prevention Task Force meetings on a regular
basis. The UDPP has also identified the link between underage
drinking and more visible social issues besides drinking and
driving, such as binge drinking, teen pregnancy, fetal alcohol
syndrome, unplanned/unwanted sexual encounters and alcohol
poisoning. UDDP has highlighted those issues to the Travis County
community to underscore the importance of reducing underage
drinking. The program has also formed partnerships with a variety
of county agencies in order to make a significant contribution in
saving the lives of teenagers by discouraging their use of
alcohol.

The Task Force on Underage Drinkings (TFUD) mission
statement is to reduce underage drinking in Tippecanoe County by
developing, implementing, and evaluating a comprehensive plan and
providing community-wide leadership initiatives in the areas of
public policy, community involvement, law enforcement, treatment,
education, and prevention. So far, TFUD has sponsored a community
issue forum where parents, students, and concerned citizens
gathered to talk about underage drinking, and an issues forum at
Purdue University addressing the issue of underage and high risk
drinking on campus. The Law Enforcement and Public Policy
Committee met with local owners and managers of businesses that
sell alcoholic beverages, and worked with Indiana Coalition to
Reduce Underage Drinking on legislation to provide voluntary
alcoholic beverage server training. The Education Committee is
working to gain approval for a survey in the countys high
schools.

The executive director of the Chamber of Commerce is the father
of two teenage girls and became concerned about the underage
drinking problem in the county. As a result, he formed the Lenoir
County Initiative to Reduce Underage Drinking. One of the
problems in the community is a perception among young people that
no one cares if they drink. Parents often sponsor underage
drinking parties and there is little fear of being caught for
underage drinking offenses. To increase awareness of the problem,
the group organized media coverage of the NAGHSR Rapid Response
team visit and is working with a local television station to
sponsor a public education effort. Law enforcement agencies and
the state alcohol beverage control also worked to overcome a
problem that prevented the agencies from communicating with one
another during underage drinking enforcement efforts. In
addition, the group was successful in obtaining funding to
conduct a survey of admissions at the local emergency room to
further highlight the seriousness of underage drinking in the
community.

The Prince Georges County Highway Safety Program initially
targeted the area of the county in and around the University of
Maryland, the largest university campus in the state for their
underage drinking prevention effort. A diverse group of
organizations in the community representing law enforcement,
secondary education, colleges and universities, board of license
commissioners, substance abuse prevention, health department, and
public officials came together to develop a comprehensive plan.
One of the suggestions was to provide more support for students
on campus who do not drink and publicize a survey about No
Drinking choices as a socially acceptable norm. The group
will also be working to remove alcohol advertising from the
universitys school newspaper and will distribute copies of
Things to do Without Alcohol that is published by the
universitys health center.

driving activities. Because alcohol use among teens is high in
the county, the organization applied for assistance in
establishing a comprehensive underage drinking prevention
program. One of the goals of the comprehensive program was to
establish greater coordination among the various state and local
law enforcement agencies, which has been accomplished through
several successful enforcement initiatives. The group has also
targeted retailers in the community that have a record of sales
to minors and organized a successful effort to remove a prominent
billboard advertising alcohol.

The Take Charge Coalition, Inc., is a not-for-profit substance

alcohol-related death of a local high school student. The mission
of Take Charge is to empower the community to prevent alcohol and
other substance abuse and to promote a community norm which
supports holistic health and well being. The group works to
accomplish this mission by promoting healthy alternatives, zero
tolerance of illegal underage drinking, and education and
awareness of situations and consequences related to alcohol and
other drugs. The coalition has broad representation from service
providers, business, law enforcement, parents, education, and the
media. When the group was formed, it hosted a two-day
community exchange, which brought together
stakeholders from throughout the community to address adolescent
alcohol and other substance use. Since that time, the coalition
has sponsored several community education programs, worked with
the county school district to provide alcohol/drug free messages
to parents, worked with tavern and off premise business owners on
adolescent access to alcohol, and sponsored several alcohol/drug
free activities through its Positive Alternatives Committee.

The Hermantown school system formed a Learners at Risk committee
several years ago, which formed the basis for the Youth
Alcohol-Free Alliance of Hermantown. The group decided to apply
for assistance in forming this underage drinking prevention
effort after an incident at a local lake that involved reports of
underage drinking and sexual assault. Denial is a major issue in
the community, which some members attribute to the tradition of
stoicism and handling problems within the family. So
far the group has developed a mission statement, worked with
other school systems in the area to develop a joint effort to
combat underage drinking, and had representatives appear on a
local public television station.
