King County Community Organizing Program began working with community groups and coalitions to implement alcohol and other drug prevention strategies in 1989.
Our community-based core advisory Board was established to ensure our accountability to community, State and Federal funds. We are funded by the Federal Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, through the Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development. Our staff of community organizers offers training, technical assistance and other prevention resources to communities within King County.
A Community Organizer works with groups to generate ideas, facilitate productive meetings and implement solutions around the issues of substance abuse and violence.
