Ongoing Opportunities for You to Obtain Grants from HCCA and/or Volunteer in the Community

Youth Voices Program: Small Grants For Host Organizations: The Youth Voices program is a proven strategy for: a) identifying, organizing and supporting youth who choose not to use tobacco, alcohol or other drugs, and b) help them take action to prevent tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use. HCCA wants to expand the involvement of youth in tobacco, alcohol or other drug use prevention, and is offering small grants ($1800 each) to host organizations that want to create new or sustain existing Youth Voices programs. Funding supports a stipend for an adult leader and out-of-pocket program expenses. For more information, contact: Renee Page rpage@mcd.org; 557-2945
