HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL FAMILY PARTNERSHIP

The National Family Partnership (NFP), formerly known as the National Federation of Parents for Drug Free Youth, was created in 1980 by parents across America in response to the rising level of youth drug use.

The mission of the National Family Partnership is nurturing parents to help children reach their full potential. The National Family Partnership works to accomplish its mission through parent training, parent networking and sponsoring the National Red Ribbon Campaign.

The Red Ribbon Campaign is an opportunity to send a consistent "Anti-Drug" message to young people.

The Partnership also assists in forming parent groups in all 50 States, provides education to parents about the health risks of drug use, distributes similar materials to members of Congress and supports alternative social activities for youth. Nancy Reagan was founding and honorary Chair of the National Family Partnership.
