Description
The Parents Commission Grant supports programs throughout Arizona that increase and enhance parental involvement and educate communities about the serious risks and public health problems caused by alcohol and controlled-substance abuse. The Arizona Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith and Family (GOYFF) administers the competitive grant process in partnership with the Arizona Parents Commission on Drug Education and Prevention. Created by a 1996 voter initiative, the Commission receives funding from the Drug Treatment and Education Fund.
Supported activities include evidence-based programs, social media campaigns, training, social host ordinances, information fairs and campaigns, victim impact panels, youth group meetings, speaker bureau presentations, and in-school programming. The 2022 solicitation emphasized parental or caregiver involvement and prevention involving one or multiple substances, with interest in underserved communities and communities at high risk for entry into the foster care system.
