  • Communities Mobilizing for Change on Alcohol (CMCA) Activities – CMCA is a nationally recognized model program that utilizes successful community-organizing and environmental prevention strategies to reduce youth access to alcohol. CMCA employs a range of strategies that lead to changes in policies and practices—including addressing legal, social, institutional, and health issues and altering norms and practices related to underage drinking. Our CMCA efforts on Kauaʻi are youth led and supported by adults. Each High School has youth leaders known as KaWise Leaders that participate in this Environmental Strategy.
