The Pre-Action Network was purposely designed in 1979 as a model to foster community/school ownership of, and serve as a catalyst for, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Abuse (ATODA) Prevention.
Leadership for community efforts is provided by local Community Prevention Coordinators. Leadership in the school district is provided by the district's ATODA Coordinator.
This network of nine communities and school districts is coordinated by the Outagamie County ATODA Prevention Specialist. Funding for Pre-Action Network initiatives comes from Outagamie County, participating school districts, businesses, and various civic and community organizations. Fund-raising efforts are coordinated by volunteers who make up the Pre-Action Network Awareness Committee.
