Welcome

Thanks to community support and agencies like the Tri-County United Way, we are still able to provide prevention services to our youth and their families in our community. Special thanks to the Hugh Bretl Memorial Foundation for making ANOTHER large donation to our cause! We couldn't do this without you!

Our Mission

Our Mission

   The Healthy Youth Coalition is a youth driven organization devoted to promoting healthy lifestyles among youth and their families throughout Marinette and Menominee Counties. We do this by building healthy youth activities and increase community awareness and knowledge of risk and protective factors, in order to reduce problem behaviors such as alcohol problem use and illicit drug use.

Our History

Our Mission

Our History

Since 2001, our coalition has been committed to making a difference in our community and our area youth and their families. HYC received a federal Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support grant from 2005 until its expiration in 2015. Since then, we have relied off of small grants and community support to continue our efforts.

Thank you to Bellin for your support and providing this opportunity to not only our members, but also to the students at Blesch Intermediate School! Topics included in the presentation were; anti-vaping, anti-bullying, drug and alcohol prevention, and healthy choices.

anti-vaping campaign

In 2019, our staff worked with a Menominee HYC subgroup of youth to create an educational campaign on the dangers of vaping and e-cigarettes. The students did a great job with their designs and thanks to the Hannahville Indian Community, billboards were posted in the city of Menominee as well as within the county. The youth also purchased giveaways for our school presentations such as anti-vaping t-shirts and wristbands. The members were also able to purchase vaping prevention posters and banners for local school districts.
