Training is offered by State Highway Safety Offices and various established traffic safety coalitions to help build and keep coalitions engaged. Check with your State Highway Safety Office to learn where the nearest training opportunities are available.

There are many organizations that offer online training, materials you can download or events to participate in such as annual boot camp workshops. Two organizations that we have identified are the Coalition Institute by Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) and the University of Kansas Community Toolbox.
