Current Coalition Needs

  • Community sharing: We’re looking for members who can share coalition messages on social media or Front Porch Forum.
  • Workgroup members: Workgroups are topic-focused and meet according to member availability.
  • Steering team members: We are always looking for people who can help hold and guide this work. A typical steering team member puts in 2-5 hours a month.
  • Preparing materials: help get information out by putting together membership packets, retailer handouts, etc.
  • Tabling: join the HLV table at community events or provide support by distributing posters or resources in the community.

Healthy Lamoille Valley Standing Workgroups

Healthy Lamoille Data Workgroup

Healthy Lamoille Valley’s Data Workgroup meets regularly to analyze the latest data reports on youth substance use and related issues important to the Lamoille Valley region and present key highlights to the coalition and community. We’re also available to help support data research projects. Email media@healthylamoillevalley.org for more information.

Substance-free Signs

Are your town or agency’s public spaces substance-free? Interested in signage for an existing smoke, vape, cannabis, alcohol and/or substance free public space? We can help! Healthy Lamoille Valley can offer design and permanent signage printing for your town. For Town-related signage, get in touch with your town leadership and we can set up a meeting to discuss! We can also support any related policy towards substance-free public spaces. Are you interested in signage for your event, business or agency? HLV’s Tobacco Prevention Task Force and Lamoille Area Youth Council printed 3 different smoke- and vape-free signs to offer our community. We are also giving out some cigarette buttlers that are used to collect cigarette butts. See examples. Contact alison@healthylamoillevalley.org or jessica@healthylamoillevalley.org for more information.
