The Drug-Free Communities Program (DFC) is directed by the White House Office of the National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and is currently managed by CDC in the National Center for Injury Prevention (NCIPC), Division of Overdose Prevention (DOP), Drug-Free Communities Branch (DFCB). The DFC Program provides grants to approximately 800 community coalitions to achieve 2 main goals: 1) establish and strengthen collaboration among communities and 2) reduce substance abuse among youth, focusing on alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, prescription drugs, and other drugs.

ONDCP has an exclusive agreement with the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) to provide training, coalition development, outreach, evaluation, and research to support all DFC and non-DFC coalitions across the country. CADCA has developed the required trainings specifically for youth regarding youth substance use prevention, has developed required trainings for DFC Coalitions as part of the National Coalition Academy; and engaged DFCB Project Officers in training and coalition technical assistance. Therefore, CADCA is the only organization capable of providing the youth community of practice, sustained youth substance use prevention activities through the DFC program.
