Dear Community Partners,
As many of you know, the Coalition for Auburn and Lincoln Youth (CALY) has reached the end of our 10-year grant funding period. Last week we held our final CALY meeting in Auburn and as we close this chapter, we want to sincerely thank you for your partnership, dedication, and commitment to supporting youth and families in our communities. While CALY's formal role is ending, the strong network of organizations, agencies, schools, businesses, and community leaders that has grown through this work remains.
We encourage you to stay connected, continue sharing resources, collaborating, and supporting one another. The true legacy of CALY is the partnerships that were built and strengthened along the way, and we are confident this work will continue to make a positive impact for years to come.
RaisingPlacer.org: Through our strong partnership with Placer County Public Health, the RaisingPlacer.org website has served as a valuable hub for prevention resources, educational materials, and community information for Placer County residents. As the website transitions, Placer County Public Health is working closely with us to ensure these important prevention assets and resources remain accessible to our community. To ensure continued access, prevention information and resources on raisingplacer.org will soon be available on the Placer County Substance Abuse Prevention Services webpage: https://www.placer.ca.gov/2062/Substance-Abuse-Prevention-Services
We have also included links to partner organizations, collaboratives, and resources that may be helpful. Please feel free to connect with them directly:

Lincoln Serves
Lincoln Serves is a collaborative group that meets monthly on the second Tuesday of each month at 3:00 PM in the City Hall First Floor Conference Room. The group brings together community partners to connect, collaborate, and create solutions that strengthen and support the Lincoln community.
As we reflect on this journey, we also invite you to watch this brief video about Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) and the protective factors that help children thrive:
