About Us

Mountain Youth Network in Clear Creek County is a true community-based initiative. Our coalition includes individuals from a range of sectors: law enforcement, education, faith community, health and human services, government, youth-serving organizations, students, community organizations, parents, and local business.

HOW WE STARTED:

The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) requested ongoing funding from the marijuana tax cash fund for youth substance abuse prevention.   

​

The funding was designated for the implementation of the Communities that Care (CTC) model in over 40 communities across Colorado.

​

Our local public health agency was eligible for this opportunity because mental health and substance abuse were documented as priorities in the Public Health Improvement Plan for Clear Creek County. 

​

Mountain Youth Network is now funded through foundation contributions in addition to the state sponsored CTC grant.

Our Vision:

Elevating youth

in Clear Creek County!

Our Mission:

Together in Clear Creek County, we will guide and encourage our youth on their journey to a happy, healthy, and successful future.
