While in previous roles she supported Orion Township as Treasurer, our business community as Chamber of Commerce Director, and our youth as marching band mom, Kim has been an advocate for youth and family mental health and wellness through it all.

NOCC wouldn't be able to support the schools in our community without our YAB members!
Youth Action Board is run through the NOCC, but is its own student group at Lake Orion and Oxford high schools. Our YAB members are passionate about making positive change in their schools regarding mental health and substance prevention. All of the school-based campaigns run by NOCC wouldn't be possible without YAB, and our amazing members!
Visit https://www.noccmi.org/ for more information, and never hesitate to reach out to [email protected] if you or your student is interested in joining! We are ALWAYS welcoming new members!

How we act and what we say about substance use and mental health sets the example for our younger community members. Prevention starts with informed, supported adults--but you're not in it alone.
