What is the NLCCC?
The New London Community & Campus Coalition (NLCCC) was established in 2003 when Connecticut College and the City of New London's Office of Youth Affairs joined forces to create a community coalition to address issues of underage drinking and substance abuse. Since, over 25 different community agencies and institutions have joined the effort.
A new four-year Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) Partnership for Success grant was secured in the spring of 2010 to continue the coalition's work.
This new grant will promote a data driven effort rooted in proven science based prevention strategies.
Unique to the NLCCC's effort is a community-based environmental approach that calls for all members of the community to engage in the process of evaluation, goal setting, and program implementation.
Mission
The New London Community & Campus Coalition (NLCCC) on youth substance abuse prevention is a collaboration to engage all constituencies in the New London community to combat underage drinking and stem the tide of substance abuse amongst our youth.
