The Alliance strongly believes in the value of volunteers. We know that volunteers who are willing to join our team will help the Alliance attain its goals, while staying rooted in the community, and thereby fully realize its mission. We are therefore committed to welcoming all properly vetted members of our community regardless of age, race, creed or ability. At the Alliance, volunteers are entitled to the same respect accorded to our staff, to opportunities for developing their skills and relationships, and to feel that they are equal partners in the attainment of our organization’s goals.

Our Mission is to build partnerships and work together to prevent substance misuse and violence among youth and adults.
Our Vision is to be a catalyst for developing a healthy, safe and drug-free community. Our goal is to bring drug prevention into every business, home, and heart in Casa Grande.
Our Commitment is to Prevention – The process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve, their wellbeing. It moves beyond a focus on individual behavior towards a wide range of social and environmental interventions.
