The Fairfax Prevention Coalition came together this summer for our All-Hands Coalition Cookout, bringing together 25 coalition members, including 20 youth from the Falls Church and Alexandria Youth Teams.
The afternoon was filled with connection, creativity, and community. Participants played soccer, tie-dyed FPC “Carry Narcan” shirts, created art projects, enjoyed delicious food catered by Wegmans, and celebrated summer together.
A special thank you goes to the FPC Youth Team Members on the Coalition Cookout Planning Committee. Your leadership, creativity, and hard work helped make this event a meaningful and fun gathering.
We are grateful to the following youth leaders for helping bring this event to life:

Events like this remind us that prevention work is also about building relationships, creating welcoming spaces, and celebrating the young people and partners who make our coalition stronger together.
