Strategy Teams

We invite Cobb youth and adults to join us in our work to reduce and prevent underage and youth binge drinking. Please consider actively participating in one of our six strategy teams. Volunteers are needed and your time and talent is appreciated. Taskforce members serve on at least one strategy team.
