Schools are back in session, which means our summer civics programs have officially wrapped up! This year's Summer Civic Academy and Summer at City Hall were a huge success, with a total of 48 youth completing our programs.

This year was our first time hosting Summer Civic Academy at an alternative education school in Placer County. PRO's program taught youth who have already had encounters with the system to learn professional ways to advocate for themselves. This included educating the youth on the proper avenues to decision makers who can actually enact the policy changes they're advocating for.

In Rancho Cordova, our Summer at City Hall youth learn about city departments and how to navigate the world of local politics. At the end of each session, those in the program present ideas to councilmembers for their community. This year, these ideas included large-scale projects like a community center and a new library in Rancho Cordova.

Thank you to all of the youth who participated in our summer civics programs! We expect to see great things from you all in the years to come.

PRO's fearless leader, CEO & President Staci Anderson, spent last week on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C., advocating for youth mental wellness and presenting to the Mental Health Caucus. Staci deeply understands the need for expanded services, which includes getting PRO's MindOneSix curriculum into the hands of more youth-serving community members to help fill this gap. Thank you to those in the caucus for inviting PRO to speak about our work!

August is a great time to reset, refocus, and build healthy habits! 🌱

This month, remember to:

🧘 Regulate your emotions and take time to pause
💧 Recharge your body through movement, nutrition, hydration, and rest
📝 Plan small, achievable steps toward your goals

Small choices made consistently can create meaningful change. What is one healthy habit you want to focus on this month?
