On May 3, 2018, school and community groups from across Vermont will attend a Culminating Event in Barre, VT as part of the 2017-18 Umatter for Youth and Young Adults (Umatter YYA) Initiative.
Umatter YYA is a youth leadership and engagement initiative which promotes mental health wellness: developing healthy coping mechanisms among youth and young adults, and increasing the ability to recognize when a peer needs help and how to provide it.
Over the past five months, nine school/community groups engaged in a day of interactive training with peers statewide, participated in short training sessions at the school setting, and participated in the design and implementation of a local Community Action Project.
The Culmination Event on May 3rd will bring the groups back together to receive additional training and to share their Community Action Projects.
