Kennebec County Youth Advisory Board
The Kennebec County Youth Advisory Board (KC YAB) is committed to promoting substance use prevention and creating a safe and healthy community for young people. This is primarily accomplished through advocacy, education, engagement, and collaboration with community leaders, organizations, and youth.
Congratulations to Luca Hardy, Cony High School Senior, on his winning story entitled “The Creature I Am”!
This competition aims to highlight the importance of mattering among youth and the community. HCCA invited students in 6th-12th grade to participate by crafting compelling stories that explore the significance of mattering in today's world. The winners will be selected by members of the Kennebec County Youth Advisory Board.
This StoryWalk® will be featured for Summer 2025.
