Our Futures In Licking County

The United Way is a partner and a funding source for Our Futures in Licking County project. Our Futures In Licking County is working to improve the development of healthy and productive youth while reducing risk factors associated with substance abuse, crime, violence and school dropout rates. Licking County youth recently completed the Pride survey which establishes a baseline to measure program success. Representatives throughout the county are uniting to identify low-cost, measurable, evidence-based strategies to accomplish the goals. Committees include representatives from schools, business, media, youth, parents, youth-serving organizations, law enforcement, religious organizations, civic and volunteer groups, health care professionals and governmental agencies. Initial strategies will be implemented in the fall of 2009.
