The Mount Baker Community Coalition (MBCC) aims to reduce youth substance use and promote youth mental wellbeing throughout East Whatcom County. This August we completed our fourth year of the Summer Youth Prevention Fellowship: Learn, Serve, and Earn, that provides high school students with a stipend for participating in community service, learning, and recreational activities. Seven youth, ages 14-18, convened for two weeks to learn about positive goal setting and confronting peer pressure; performed community service through the Deming Library and local parks; as well as participated in a variety of fun, team-building, activities including climbing the YMCA rock wall, visiting the Neko Cat Café, and painting lanterns at CreativiTea. Thank you to our youth fellows for bringing your full selves to this experience! We look forward to connecting with you more as the school year gets under way through the One Baker Voice Prevention Club.
If you have questions about MBCC or One Baker Voice, please contact Allison Ormsby at obv@wfcn.org.
The next meeting of the Mount Baker Community Coalition will be Monday, September 16, 2024 from 2:45 pm – 4:15 pm. We meet in the Mount Baker School District Boardroom. We hope you can join us!
