Building Partnerships
Maximize effectiveness and increase the distribution of this important message to communities by working to partner with various groups including schools, businesses, media, faith-based organizations and parent groups. Most importantly, community groups should work with law enforcement to ensure that parents will lose the most if they host underage drinking parties. Without buy-in from law enforcement, the initiative’s message will fall flat.Ensuring Success: Follow These Steps
