Youth Summer Job Positions with SCYC

POSITIVE COMMUNITY NORMS PROGRAM


The School Community Youth Coalition members are invested in the youth of Montezuma and Dolores Counties. We are concerned about underage drinking and substance abuse among youth. We approach issues by looking at the environment youth are exposed to – including parental attitudes and behaviors around youth substance abuse. Our community data indicts that MOST parents in Montezuma and Dolores Counties support youth through positive behaviors. For example, when surveyed MOST parents, 8-10, do NOT supply alcohol to youth, yet these same parents believe other parents supply alcohol to youth. Our Positive Community Norms program will help correct these misperceptions and highlight good parenting and youth assets. Look for our Believe It! Campaign messages and begin the conversation around positive youth development. For more information about the Positive Community Norms program, contact Missy Miller at 970-529-7139.
