C.A.P.A. Coalition
A coalition is “a formal arrangement for cooperation and collaboration between groups or sectors of a community, in which each group retains its identity but all agree to work together toward a common goal.”
The C.A.P.A. coalition is comprised of parents, teachers, law enforcement personnel, business professionals, religious leaders, health providers and other community activists who are mobilizing at the local level to make the communities of Brecksville and Broadview Heights safer, healthier and drug-free.
