JUST ANNOUNCED!!
FREE VIRTUAL YOUTH TRACK
The Northwest Alcohol Conference Youth Track is excited to announce our virtual Youth Track opportunity this year that will include a TWO hour VIRTUAL presentation and an opportunity for up to 20 youth coalitions to earn a $300 mini grant for the development and completion of a community project!
Please join us for the presentation: Coping, Connection, and Community presented by nationally acclaimed presenter Nigel Wrangham, in coordination with Billie-Jo Nickens, NoWAC Youth Track Coordinator. COVID-19 has provided the world with a variety of challenges that many of us were not prepared for. In turn, we have seen an increase in unhealthy coping strategies across all age groups, including substance use and abuse. During this time, it is even more important to remember to reach out and make positive connections with our family, friends, and our communities. This presentation will work to engage youth coalitions and their adult leaders from around the United States in conversations regarding ways to reach their peers and their communities during this time, ways to expand the reach of their voices and messages, and the importance of service and connection to their communities.
In the final portion of the virtual presentation, participants will learn about the stipend opportunity that is being offered to youth coalitions to develop and complete a community project in their own communities!
For more details on the guidelines of the mini grant, the dates for the virtual presentation, and to register for the virtual Youth Track: Coping, Connection, and Community, please visit our website at: Youth Track Info | Northwest Alcohol Conference
