LEADERSHIP TO KEEP CHILDREN ALCOHOL FREE

Leadership to Keep Children Alcohol Free, a unique coalition of Governors' spouses, Federal agencies, and public and private organizations, is an initiative to prevent the use of alcohol by children ages 9 to 15. It is the only national effort that focuses on alcohol use in this age group. The initiative was founded by The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and has been joined by additional Federal sponsors.
