IPC General Meeting

The next IPC General Meeting will be held on May 16, 2013.

In 1983, Nancy Regan hosted a PBS documentary entitled, "The Chemical People" and called on citizens to organize local grass roots movements to prevent substance use by America's youth. Irvine was one of many communities in the nation that responded to this call to action by forming the Irvine Chemical  People in 1983. In 1987, the Irvine Chemical People received their 501-C 3 status and later, in 1990, the group changed the name of the organization to Irvine Community Drug Prevention (ICDP).

Since its beginning, ICDP brought together representatives from the school district, city, police department and community who were committed to creating and nurturing cooperation and a sharing of resources among partners in order to better serve our community. In the mid-1990's, IUSD, the City of Irvine, Irvine Police Department, ICDP, and Families Forward expanded our collaborative efforts by forming the Irvine Prevention Coalition, made up of multiple agency, business, faith, and community partners who provide a variety of health and human services that address the ever changing needs of our community.
