Oak Harbor Youth Coalition OHYC members use local, state and federal data to assess the needs of youth in our community. The public is always welcome to attend!

Through advocacy, awareness, and action, our group of dedicated community volunteers aims to foster an inclusive community culture that strengthens families, reduces substance abuse, and promotes physical, mental and emotional wellness. We then work collaboratively with schools and other agencies to advocate on their behalf. Our goal is identify local risk factors and replace them with protective factors wherever possible. We want to give the next generation the tools they need to make healthy choices and lead successful lives. Some of the ways in which we do this is by leveraging state and federal grant funds to implement mentoring programs, parent assistance, motivational speakers, and educating youth & adults about the dangers of substance abuse during a critical time of brain development. We meet the 3rd Wednesday of each month, 3:00pm at the North Whidbey Middle School Library.

Meet Chomper! Your "local" Australian Tree Frog.

*Did You know?*
Amphibians, such as frogs, have a permeable skin membrane. This allows them to both drink and breathe through their skin! Anything that is able to pass through their skin enters directly into their blood stream!

Waste water facilities are not equipped to remove prescription drug compounds, meaning if flushed, these chemicals get pumped right back into the environment.

Safely disposing of Rx Medications is easy, free, and it keeps the frogs happy!

This interactive and engaging STARS training provides an overview of the special education referral process, what families can expect with an evaluation through the school district, and what services can look like if a child qualifies for them. This will also include strategies for helping families navigate this process, questions to ask, and ways of connecting and collaborating with the special education providers working with a child in the public schools. This training is designed to support anyone who works with preschool aged children.

This online training will be at 6pm on Wednesday, July 15. Space for STARS trainings are limited, so please register at https://buff.ly/kax0PeI

Just a friendly (and very excited 😄) reminder that we’ve switched things up — we’ll be meeting at The Book Rack at 3 PM! 📚

✨ Come a little early and grab a refreshing drink from the café ☕🥤 — you deserve it!

School’s out, so feel free to bring the kiddos along for the fun!

Come ready for good vibes, great conversation, and maybe a little book browsing (because… how could we not? 😉).
