A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
“Welcome to the Indian Valley, a Community where Character Counts.” This strong simple message has greeted our residents and guests for many years as they drive the roads in our community. It is one small way we reinforce the importance of character-building for our youth, yet it speaks volumes about who we are as a community.
As an initiative of the North Penn YMCA, the mission of the Indian Valley Character Coalition is “To promote positive youth development by providing information, supporting programs, and strengthening community relationships that promote the principles of Character Counts! and that build assets to help youth stay healthy, safe, and drug-free.” The Coalition’s work started as a predominantly character-building program and has now evolved to focus on character, substance abuse prevention, and positive mental health awareness. Members of our community are working hard to achieve these goals through character and asset building activities and, more importantly, by sponsoring evidence-based programs which are proven prevention measures in the fight against substance abuse and to support our youth by building positive mental health awareness. We cannot reach these goals alone, need your help!
Please consider attending one of our monthly general membership meetings to learn more about the Coalition and how you can take part. Please contact our Community Mobilizer, Chelse Burton, for more information.
