Warren Coalition provides many programs to educate and engage our Warren County youth and their families. We partner with other area organizations, law enforcement, schools and businesses to serve the community.
Some of the programs currently provided are:

We See You, Warren County (#WeCUWC)
This is a grassroots campaign that encourages every person to acknowledge others, no matter their station in life, with a smile and a hello. Doing so cultivates a sense of belonging and reminds us all that every person matters. Learn more.
Resilience Building Activities
Building resilience–the ability to keep trying when faced with challenges in life, and to cope with difficulties–is a key component of preventing substance misuse. We incorporate resilience lessons into many of our community events and programs at the schools. Throughout the year, we host activities such as Resilience Bingo and Family Dinner Nights to help families learn about resilience.
Red Ribbon Week
Each year, we are available to the local schools to run activities during Red Ribbon Week. For the past few years, we have gone to both middle schools and run a variety of activities, from Jeopardy and Family Feud to an outdoor program with a variety of stations. We focus on drug education and resilience lessons at these events. Learn more.
Warren County Unplugged
We lead the Warren County charge to participate in the Global Day of Unplugging and encourage people of all ages to put down their cell phones and engage with each other for 24 hours. Learn more.
Recovery Services
We provide a variety of services for those who are working to overcome substance use disorders:
- Substance Use Assessments
- Peer Recovery Services
- Recovery Houses for Men and Women
In addition to the above listed programs, Warren Coalition also provides male and female drug/alcohol education, anger management, and Getting Ahead While Getting Out at the RSW Regional Jail, as well as re-entry services.
Celebrate Kids Day
CKD is a day for families to have fun together, with a petting zoo, inflatables, pumpkin painting, and more! Agencies in the county and surrounding area join in for a resource fair so parents can learn more about what’s available for their families while the kids play games provided by each agency.
