Coalition Members bring a variety of experiences, expertise, and historical knowledge to address local youth substance misuse with local solutions.

Together members reflect the various cultures and groups in Port Angeles, dedicated to the mission and vision of the Port Angeles Healthy Youth Coalition.

Membership is action-oriented and includes attending monthly meetings, volunteering with short-term events and activities as well as advocating for local prevention.

Members have access to learning and training opportunities at no cost, including travel expenses.

We aim to have representatives from at least 12 community sectors involved in the Coalition to ensure that a broad range of community knowledge and expertise is included.

The 12 sectors are youth, parents, business, media, school, youth-serving organizations, law enforcement, religious or fraternal organizations, civic or volunteer groups, healthcare professionals, state or local agencies, and other local youth-serving organizations.

Partners are organizations or community entities interested in collaborating to enhance local capacity and infrastructure that supports local youth to be successful.

All partners receive a copy of meeting minutes, fiscal and productivity reports, and communications.

Partners have access to training opportunities and resource materials at no cost.

Leaders from youth-serving institutions in our community convene quarterly at Youth Concerns Port Angeles to share areas of hope and concern, emerging resources, trends, and opportunities for collaboration.

The overarching goal is to align services and supports to ensure the community safety net is intact to meet the needs of all youth in Port Angeles.
