Teen Institute Parkersburg

Several of our staff are participating in a first Teen Institute here in Parkersburg on Martin Luther King Day in a few weeks. This is a youth led project where area teens will participate in workshops related to leadership training and prevention topics. Its intention is to empower teens to live healthy lifestyles and promote healthy living among their peers. It will be Monday January 18 from 9 am to 5 pm at WVU-P. The primary sponsors are the Girl Scouts and 4-H; two of our strongest partners in the Mid Town Family Resource Center. At our site, someone could contact Ashley Way for more information.
