Challenge Day

The Bay Haven Coalition uses the Challenge Day program which is designed for 100 students. It is created to build connection and empathy, and to fulfill our vision that every child lives in a world where they feel safe, loved, and celebrated. It is the spark that ignites a movement of compassion and positive change, known as the Be the Change movement

Tobacco Retailer Educ Project

The Tobacco Retailers Education Project is one of several initiatives planned by the Northwest Macomb Prevention Coalition. Efforts are focused on decreasing youth use of tobacco by educating students and adults – parents, business, churches, and other parts of the community, on the social, emotional, educational, and legal consequences of teen tobacco use and the legal penalties for selling tobacco to youth.
