This five-year award will enable the Sunnyside School District, in partnership with local organizations like Yakima Valley Partners for Education and Heritage University, to implement evidence-based strategies to prevent and reduce substance use among youth in the community. Key activities include establishing a community coalition, conducting youth leadership training, implementing media campaigns and parental education, and coordinating a range of prevention services. The Sunnyside School District has also received several subawards to support related initiatives, such as providing literacy software, office space, vehicles, and positions to coordinate community resources, as well as implementing multi-tiered systems of support to improve school climate.
