We provide support to our community around best practices for reducing the burdens of substance abuse. In addition, we developed and run an after-school program in collaboration with the Winooski School District. This program is called Above the Influence, and helps empower youth with science-based information about substances and brain development, as well as advocacy and leadership skills. We also run 7-9 community dinners throughout the year that draw various community members together to connect with each other and other opportunities and information in the area.
