Hopkins Community Coalition: One Voice For Reducing Youth Chemical Use is a community-wide effort aimed at decreasing the use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs among youth in the Hopkins Public Schools and member communities.
HCC: One Voice brings together our community to work on promoting and encouraging a positive change in student attitudes, beliefs, and norms about their alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use; as well as promoting a change in adult behavior that guides and supports the decisions of youth to resist using alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.

Our History
Originally called Reduce the Use, this collaborative effort was established after the 1998 Report Card on our Youth (which measures attitudes and behaviors in 6th, 9th and 12th graders) showed an alarming increase in the use of chemicals by Hopkins Public Schools' youth. A town meeting was conducted in April 1999, where the district community was made aware of the problem. Two hundred and fifty community members signed cards pledging their commitment and the Reduce the Use Coalition was born. In August 2008, the name was changed to Hopkins Community Coalition: ONE VOICE For Reducing Youth Chemical Use.
