History of GGC program: GGC is a 5-session educational series for parents of youth aged 9-14. Guiding Good Choices has been regularly offered for Chimacum parents since Fall 2018, and through a virtual platform between Fall 2020-Spring 2022. • Josh Ley updated the group on a driver training for indigent youth, up to age 21. This is a helpful program because many youth are avoiding driving altogether, and not taking a driving class in high school. This can be a safety concern, as in a rural area, sometimes driving is the only way to access life- saving services of different kinds. • Laura updated the group on mini-grants, and particularly some of the clubs/programs for BIPOC youth.
