Approve agreement with Tulare County Superintendent of Schools in the amount of $92,000 for the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027, to secure funding for the Friday Night Live program activities.

Through the Department of Health Care Services, the Tulare County Superintendent of Schools administers and distributes funds to county Friday Night Live programs “In Good Standing" throughout the state. The Yolo County Friday Night Live Program provides leadership and field support for the continued growth and enhancement of Friday Night Live (FNL), Club Live (CL), Friday Night Live Kids (FNLK), and Friday Night Live Mentoring (FNLM) programs at specific Yolo County schools.

The primary focus of these programs is to work in partnership with middle school, high school and college-aged youth to provide programs rich in opportunities and support, including leadership development and peer-to-peer prevention activities that aim to reduce substance use and promote healthy lifestyles.

This funding is used to coordinate and implement strategies that align with the Strategic Prevention Framework, including youth-led educational campaigns, community outreach, policy advocacy, and skill-building workshops. These activities address risk and protective factors by fostering youth resilience, increasing awareness of the harms associated with alcohol and other drug use, and creating supportive environments that discourage substance use. FNL chapters collaborate with schools, local coalitions, and public health partners to develop culturally relevant prevention messages, organize public events, and conduct surveys to inform local prevention planning. Specifically, these funds are used by program staff to purchase items/services that make these activities possible. These items/services include, but are not limited to: snacks, conference registration fees, field trips, ad space, media expenses, office supplies, program awareness promotional items, youth recruitment promotional items, stipends, guest speakers, graphic design services, assembly expenses, etc.

Yolo County Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) requests approval of this revenue agreement with the Tulare County Superintendent of Schools to receive funding to continue improving the lives of young people and the community by supporting youth-driven, evidence-based drug prevention efforts throughout Yolo County.
