The Oakland Crack Task Force (OCTF) was created by concerned citizens to combat the problems caused by crack cocaine and ensure the future existence of the family, especially the black family, using community resources and no outside funding. Goals are to educate the community about crack; identify and access prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery resources; and implement activities designed to enhance and strengthen cultural and family values. The following standing committees are responsible for program implementation: (1) education and special events; (2) prenatal; (3) support groups; (4) organizational development; and (5) youth. Program activities have included the following: (1) monthly community seminars; (2) addict support groups; (3) a citywide "crack summit"; and (4) youth programs. The highly successful monthly seminars are held at various churches and include entertainment, free food, and child care. Future programming will emphasize youth, education and community, foster care and extended family members, and advocacy. The following materials are appended: (1) an organizational chart; (2) seven posters advertising seminars; (3) six newspaper articles reporting program events; and (4) agendas for a community seminar and the citywide summit.
