The Healthy Youth Coalition of Marinette & Menominee Counties was recently awarded $15,000 from the Provident Health Foundation to help assist with our alcohol and other drug prevention operations and programming in the schools and community.
The coalition says it is very thankful to Provident for not only being another funding source for nonprofits in the area, but also for their efforts in recognizing the need for organizations like ours to continue providing healthy lifestyle strategies and education within our community. A large portion of these funds will be allocated for working with youth in the schools this upcoming school year on prevention efforts led by our student members on various substance use issues.
