Greetings!

When you think about the vibrancy of any community, the energy of children and youth must spring to mind.  We need to come together as a community to meet the needs and work with the strengths of youth.

Here are some quick ways to participate (see details below):
  • Support a youth who is walking the Youth Walk
  • Take a quick survey to help CWYC be the best we can be
  • Join us at the monthly Coalition meetings
  • Partner with great organizations; we highlight a member organization in each newsletter
Enjoy your summer!
