Who we are...

Mission: GOAL Project is a Global coalition of professionals and volunteers that promotes and supports 12 step recovery from the disease of addiction. GOAL also works toward lessening addiction related problems including HIV/AIDS, domestic violence and human trafficking.

Vision: Establish five to ten global centers for the purpose of training and counseling people affected by addiction and people who work with them.

History: GOAL began in 1992 as a Russian Project with the Soviet-American Conference on Alcoholism, a New York-based organization, and The Coalition for Addictive Diseases of Southwestern Pennsylvania, the forerunner of C.L.E.A.R. (the Coalition for Leadership, Education & Advocacy for Recovery), a project of the non-profit, charitable Pittsburgh Leadership Foundation (PFL).
