The Coordinating Council, community drug-free coalition, was started in 1987 to address substance abuse prevention & policy needs of Pasadena and Altadena. Coordinating Council is a collaboration of members of the community, as well as representatives from the City of Pasadena, Pasadena Police Department, LA County Sheriff-Altadena Station, Pasadena Public Health Department, NAACP, treatment providers, youth serving organizations, faith community, and various human resources and service organizations. The Council meets to discuss substance abuse prevention & policy needs in the area and also provides organizations an opportunity to share information and network with one another. Membership is open to any individual or organization committed to reducing problems associated with alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use in the community. Members are expected to share information, help disseminate prevention messages, and promote drug-free lifestyle.

Coordinating Council meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month at the Jackie Robinson Center 1020 N Fair Oaks Ave
Pasadena, CA 91103 (626) 744-7300. If you would like to receive more information or join us at the meetings, please contact us at (626) 229-9750.
