Lake Placid Wilmington

Connecting Youth and Communities Coalition, Inc.

Vision and Mission

The Lake Placid Wilmington Connecting Youth and Communities Coalition is an organization comprised of volunteer members of the community representing twelve different sectors whose vision is connecting youth and community through advocacy, education and engagement to foster youth to be educationally and vocationally productive, civically and socially connected and physically and mentally healthy.

The mission of the CYC is to promote mental, physical and spiritual health by empowering and educating our youth to become leaders and engaged citizens.

The strategies of the Coalition include:

· Comprehensive planning and coordination of education, prevention, and early intervention program.

· Integrate youth services where appropriate to create engagement opportunities.

· Provide support and leadership opportunities for the youth of the community.

Mini-Grant Awards

Our objective is to use the funding we receive to make a series of grants, which will typically range from $150 - $500 to youth-driven community projects. By creating these mini-grants we hope to involve the youth in the communities of Lake Placid and Wilmington to further the vision and mission of the CYC. Through you and others like you we hope to make this dream a reality and are eager to listen to your proposals.
