Eligibility For Services

• Services and benefits are available to registered members of the Alliance for Wisconsin Youth (AWY) free of charge.
• To become a registered member, a local coalition must be accepted through an application process, by completing a simple webpage template on the Alliance web site.  See qualifications for membership listed below.
• To remain eligible for all services provided by the AWY, local Alliance Key Contacts must maintain an up-to-date web page that includes current Key Contact information, goals and objectives, and indicates the community sectors involved within the local Alliance (a minimum of 5 sectors must be represented).
• Registered coalitions are assigned a ‘Local Alliance Code’ or member number which can be found on the Alliance website. Codes are required on all applications for Alliance grant programs and scholarships.

Qualifications for AWY Membership

• The local coalition has members from at least five (5) different community sectors (see application form for list of possible sectors) working together.
• The local coalition works together towards common substance abuse prevention. Note: single agency Boards of Directors are not eligible to apply to the Alliance for Wisconsin Youth.
• The coalition meets regularly.
• The coalition defines its service area (neighborhoods in large metropolitan areas, a city, town, or village, part or all of a county, or multi-county).  

The spirit of coalitions is people working together, representing various agencies or sectors of the community, to achieve a common goal.

Much of the work of youth substance abuse prevention could not be accomplished without partnerships and coalitions, which join resources together to accomplish more than could be done by any one agency or individual.

This is the essence of the Alliance – communities collaborating, and adults and youth working together, to support and nurture healthy, thriving youth living in healthy communities.
