CVFC Summer Programming

5K Forward For Recovery sponsorships provide funding for CVFC's Summer Youth Programming at various North Country School Districts. The program pairs evidence-based practices and adventure-based learning for a full week of skill building during the summer and weekly group sessions during the school year to foster a healthy school transition, and reduce risk for substance use.

Donations to support our Prevention programming may be made online via PayPal.
