Galveston County Community Coalition (GCCC) exists to serve as a community-wide effort aiming to prevent and reduce the harmful impact of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug abuse in youth within our communities. We implement these efforts by utilizing community-based, environmental prevention strategies. These strategies are research and scientifically based and are proven to work on a national and local level. 

​

GCCC relies on effective community partnerships and collaborations to effect change in community norms and perceptions, access and availability, and policies and regulations. Some of these strategies include: outreach and education, reducing underage drinking by conducting compliance checks and responsible beverage service campaigns to retailers, and positive messaging campaigns, only to name a few.
