Mission Statement

The Lodi Community Action Team promotes the creation of a healthy environment that fosters alcohol and other drug free choices among our youth.

Beliefs

  • We believe that easy access to alcohol and illicit use of prescription drugs are a major obstacle in teens making healthy choices.
  • We believe that for teens to make healthy choices they must live in an environment that emphasizes the positives of healthy choices.
  • We believe that active and involved parents are a major component to developing teens that make healthy choices.
  • We believe that the community at large is a  major influence in developing habits of the communities teens.
  • We believe that legislation, policy change, and education can change our environment  and ultimately influence behavior.

Strategies

  • We will provide and support programs that educate and connect the community in creating a healthy environment for our children, such as Parents Who Host, Lose the Most,  Local Drug Round Ups, and the Parent Pledge Program.
  • We will develop working partnerships with schools, government agencies and local organizations to coordinate efforts in promoting healthy lifestyle choices.
  • We will maintain a Speakers Bureau for presenters and presentation that address drug and alcohol misuse and promotes healthy lifestyle choices for use by community and school groups.
  • We will hold an annual town hall meeting to educate and inform the community at large on our progress in the areas of teen access to alcohol and other drugs.
  • We will conduct monthly LCAT meetings that are open to the public.

“That’s just the way it is!  Things will never change!  We did it when we were kids!”  These words are self fulfilling prophecies.  As long as we sit by and watch nothing will change.  LCAT is open to anyone with a passion for providing action, ideas, support and education for change in teen access to alcohol and other drugs.  Please be a part of the action for change.

LCAT Meets

  • Every 3rd Thursday of the Month
  • Between 5:00 and 6:00 PM
  • At the Lodi Area Fire Station, 105 North Main Street
