HYPE- Hancock Youth for Positive Efforts

HYPE- Hancock Youth for Positive Efforts HYPE is a youth-led, adult-guided organization focused on engaging youth in grades 6 through 12 in positive efforts to reduce substance use.

Youth learn several skills to help them successfully navigate life as a middle and high school student. Hancock County Community Coalition in partnership with Hancock Resource Center was awarded the Drug-Free Communities grant by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration. This ten year grant will allow the coalition to implement prevention strategies with the youth of Hancock County. F

rom this partnership Hancock Youth for Positive Efforts (HYPE) was born. It is evident that the youth have so much to offer Hancock County. Their Ideas are both imaginative and innovative, and Hancock Youth for Positive Efforts gives them a voice. HYPE is a youth-led, adult guided organization focused on preventing substance use among students grades 6 through 12. They are given tools to take back to their schools and communities to promote healthy drug-free lifestyles. HCCC and Hancock Resource Center have a number of educational programs and leadership initiatives that nurture the youth and help them develop skills to intervene upon recognition of risk taking behaviors that may lead to substance use. This knowledge can be applied in school, and carried with them into their adult lives. The coalition is excited about this initiative. Please Contact us for more information.
