Impact Summer Youth Interns were fantastic this summer. They held a Youth Forum for the YMCA campers grades 5-8 on substance abuse topics. Their theme was "Blast Off" and they hosted hands one learning stations. We loved seeing youth influence younger youth! They developed the format for the event with adult assistance. They also represented the coalition on the news during the events. Finally they helped create and coordinate the media campaign that is currently running. See the PSA above.
The Ohio County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition (OCSAPC) is funded by a federal Drug Free Communities (DFC) Support Program Grant from the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Youth Services System, Inc. (YSS) serves as the coalition's fiscal and administrative agent.
