The Parent Corps
Activities for the NAPAFASA Parent Corps has begun!
Background
The Parent Corps program was established in 2003 by the Bush Administration
to develop a national program to recruit and support parents of teenagers
to prevent substance abuse in the U.S. The Parent Corps is modeled after
the Americorps volunteer program to a certain extent.
Goal
The goal of the Parent Corps is to reduce substance abuse in our communities
by establishing a statewide and national level network of parents committed
to substance abuse prevention and their local communities. The NAPAFASA
Parent Corps efforts will initially focus on Asian American and Pacific
Islander parents and youth.
The NAPAFASA Parent Corps Services
NAPAFASA, as State Partner, is working with two community based organizations,
Asian American Recovery
Services and Asian
Pacific Family Center of Pacific Clinics, in accomplishing our goal.
Two parent leaders were selected to implement the program in two schools.
Together, we will work to educate the parents in their child’s school
and motivate them to take action to prevent drug use among their children.
