Community Action Team

Goal

Work to change the culture, or environment, that encourages or promotes underage alcohol use and high-risk drinking. Supports existing policies and also advocate for new policies, ordinances or laws to be adopted when needed.

Engagements

• Work collaboratively with law enforcement, city/county government, school administrators and stakeholders
• Educate community members and policy makers on local factors that are conducive to perpetuating underage and high-risk drinking

Accomplishments

Over the last few years, the Community Action Team has been involved in programs such as age-restriction compliance checks, party patrols, and media advocacy. They were also instrumental in the establishment of a public intoxication ordinance in Menomonie in 2011.

In 2016, CAT started a marijuana billboard campaign that focused on marijuana basics for parents. The team continued to develop an additional three marijuana related campaigns for 2018. Visit our Projects page for more information.
