The purpose of the Youth Fentanyl Awareness Collaboration Forum is to gather organizations doing youth fentanyl awareness work via zoom on a regular basis so we can share what organizations are working on, learn from each other, learn from expert guests, and perhaps collaborate on campaigns/solutions. This forum is targeted at coalitions, non-profits, law enforcement, and other agencies who are trying to raise awareness about fentanyl/fake pills to youth in their communities, but is open to anyone interested in youth fentanyl/synthetic drug awareness. Feel free to forward to anyone who may be interested.
