Coalition Member Spotlight
Volunteering with Linn Together allows me to connect with the community to provide prevention education to youth and families as well as raise awareness about substance use issues in our county. I have a lot of fun at our events and am grateful for the opportunities to interact with the kids and community. Plus, if an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, then Linn Together’s efforts weigh heavily in favor of a positive future for today’s youth.
I love being a part of Linn Together for many reasons. The mission aligns with my belief that substance abuse harms our community in countless ways. Linn Together is comprised of awesome people working for a greater good.
I have found it very rewarding working on the Youth Marijuana Prevention Campaign. Having kids of my own, I know how important it is that we spread the correct information on the dangers of youth substance abuse. The sooner we can educate our kids about these dangers, the better. Providing schools, families and the kids with these facts is helping, and I am proud to be a part of that. I look forward to continuing my work on behalf of the Sheriff’s Office and the continued support that Linn Together provides in helping our counties families.
