36 Organizations seek funding to reduce Risky Behaviors in Youth
It was a packed house at the bidder's conference that was held Wednesday, May 19, 2010, at The United Way of Fresno County (UWFC). On May 11, UWFC, Community Impact Committee and Healthy Community Impact Council announced that they are looking for organizations in Fresno County that work collaboratively with community members (education, business, other non-profits, government agencies, mental and general health care providers, residents and others) to impact the number of Fresno County youth who avoid risky behaviors. Mary Contreras, Board member and Chair of the Healthy Community Impact Council and Yvonne Freve, Vice President Community Impact were at the bidder's conference to answer questions from nonprofits interested in applying for the $20,000 award.

· dangers of driving under the influence of drugs and/or
alcohol;
· consequences of unsafe sex practices;
· factors contributing to obesity and access to resources for
gaining and maintaining good health;

risk taking.
