💬 Do you work with youth groups in West Virginia? We want to hear about your work!

You’re invited to take a brief 10–15 minute survey as part of a statewide effort through the Governor’s Council on Substance Abuse Prevention Subcommittee.📝📲

This is part of an asset mapping project to identify youth-serving, youth-engaged, and youth-led groups across WV, better understand their focus areas, and highlight how they contribute to prevention efforts. The information will also help identify opportunities for collaboration, training, and support.🫶

Anyone involved in or knowledgeable about a youth-serving, youth-engaged, or youth-led group, coalition, or initiative in West Virginia.

✔️ 10–15 minutes to complete
✔️ Anonymous & Voluntary
