The local adolescent pregnancy prevention coalitions began developing in 1997. The coalitions partner with the Idaho's Governor's Council on Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention.
Coalitions are broad based community groups.
Coalitions are made up of teens, parents, teachers, clergy, community members, and representatives from the medical, business, social services and service group communities. The Daisy is the awareness symbol for teen pregnancy prevention.
