Gorge Youth Mentoring

Would you enjoy building a meaningful relationship with a child or teen? If so, you can be a mentor! Gorge Youth Mentoring, a program of The Next Door, provides children and teens ages 6 to 21 with community-based, one-on-one mentoring relationships with adult volunteers. Mentors and youth plan their own activities, meeting at least twice a month, for a year or more. For more information, visit www.nextdoorinc.org/gym or email gym@nextdoorinc.org.

When parents and other trusted adults are involved in their lives, teens are less likely to use marijuana. So, watch a movie. Take a walk. Play catch. Doing things together creates opportunities to talk. Remember, teens are under the influence…of you.

KLASAC was formed in 2013 by combining the small towns of Klickitat and Lyle in their efforts to prevent substance abuse.

What is KLASAC?

KLASAC is a group that formed to address the high underage drinking and marijuana use rates in our community. The coalition is made up of different sectors that are involved in our community and have similar goals. We work as a team to reduce youth risk factors and increase protective factors!
