Award Summary:

Funds are being used to expand Mylan Park’s Discovery Days program into a comprehensive, prevention-focused initiative serving youth and families in Monongalia County. This investment strengthens structured, full-day programming offered during school closures and half days, providing safe, engaging environments that reduce childcare barriers while keeping youth active and connected. Resources support the integration of evidence-based prevention strategies with physical wellness activities to build self-esteem, decision-making skills, and healthy peer relationships. Delivered across Mylan Park’s facilities in partnership with schools, prevention coalitions, and higher education experts, the initiative advances youth resilience, addresses root causes of substance misuse, and establishes a scalable regional model for prevention-centered enrichment programming.
