Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Grant Number 20132162, Unwasted Weekend Project, between the Cochise Community Foundation and Cochise County Health and Social Services in the amount of $1,500 for the period of 10/01/2012 to 9/30/2013.
Background:
The funds included in this award support the implementation of a one-time event as part of the Unwasted Weekend Campaign.
This campaign was developed by MTV and Above the Influence to encourage teens to find ways to have a fun weekend that does not involve participating in risky behaviors. The Cochise Youth Health Coalition will develop and implement an all night “lock-in” where youth stay the whole night and participate in a variety of activities. Participation in this event provides youth with a one-time alternative to “getting wasted” or participating in other risky behaviors such as drug use, illegal activities, sexual behavior or smoking. It also provides ongoing examples and encouragement for youth to have fun without risky behavior, even after the Unwasted Weekend is over.
The funds in this contract cover program supplies costs for this event. CHSS staff supervision is paid for under the Tobacco and Chronic Disease grant through ADHS, where Youth Health Coalition events are part of grant deliverables.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Your approvals are respectfully requested.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Not approving this would reduce the outreach capacity of the Youth Health Coalition in providing tobacco and teen pregnancy prevention education for community youth and deprive community youth of an opportunity to learn new ways to have fun without participating in risky behaviors.
