New Directions - TAC

New Directions - TAC Teen Advisory Council is a collective of students around Knox County that work to educate their peers about healthy lifestyles.

The Teen Advisory of Knox County is a program through the DELTA FOCUS grant. Teen Advisory Council is a group of passionate, informed high school students who serve as ambassadors of healthy relationships in their schools and communities. The Teen Advisory Council is trained by New Directions Staff, and takes that training into the community through projects and events of their design. One of the TAC’s annual events is the “Color for a Cause” 5K in downtown Mount Vernon.

As Memorial Day approaches, our team at New Directions encourages our community to pause and honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice allows us the freedoms we hold today, and we remain grateful.

Our office will be closed on Monday, May 25th in observance of the holiday. We will resume normal hours on Tuesday, May 26th and will respond to all messages as soon as we are able.

We wish everyone a thoughtful and meaningful Memorial Day as we continue our work supporting survivors and strengthening our community.

As Mother’s Day approaches, our team at New Directions wants to recognize the mothers, grandmothers, and maternal figures who create safety, compassion, and strength within our community.

For many, this day is joyful. For others, it may be complicated. We hold space for all experiences and honor the resilience of survivors throughout Mount Vernon and Knox County.

We’re grateful for every caregiver who leads with love and for every supporter who helps us continue providing survivor advocacy, trauma-informed care, and essential resources.

Wishing you warmth, comfort, and connection this Mother’s Day.
