Kootenai Alliance for Children & Families Information

Kootenai Alliance for Children and Families (KACF) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to foster a safe, healthy, and drug-free community through strong partnerships and effective programs that reduce at-risk behavior in our community’s youth and create strong families. As a membership coalition, KACF is made up of numerous agencies, organizations, and individuals that cross over every sector of the community. The diversity of our membership includes youth, parents, business community, media, schools, youth-serving organizations, law enforcement agencies, religious and fraternal organizations, civic groups, healthcare professionals, as well as agencies and organizations with expertise in substance abuse. Having participation from these sectors of the community allows us to share important information and collaborate on programs and events between community members that have the highest level of impact on our youth and families. Many of our members are from service organizations that work directly with families and youth, or community issues that directly affect these segments of the population. KACF is actively expanding membership to include community leaders as well as the “general” public so individuals, parents, and youth will become more involved in our efforts.
