Part of our MAPP process, this meeting is the culmination of many smaller meetings focused on what needs to be in place for a healthy community to thrive. We will look at the visioning already done and together begin to define southern Kennebec County's vision for improved quality of life.

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
Volunteer Work With Alcohol Retailers: The Maine Office of Substance Abuse is currently preparing community organizations to implement the revised Card ME Program. This program helps local convenience stores review their current alcohol sales and alcohol advertising practices, and make changes in policies and practices that promote risky sales. HCCA is looking for community members who want to a) learn about the program, and b) serve as local mentors/coaches to convenience store managers who want to use the program. A small stipend plus travel reimbursement will be provided to community members who serve in this role.
