Happy Holidays!
Join us for a workshop on resilience, its importance, and how we can create resilience for ourselves and others. Presenters Jon Platson and Chris Crowe will use their expertise in
resilience-building, protective factors, and working directly with youth to provide an overview of protective factors and risk factors (both for youth/adults and those serving youth/adults), how to build resilience, and new research for what folks can do when these strategies are falling short. We'll examine how to best support those seeking and/or providing services in our organizations, especially during challenging times.
Date: Thursday, April 10, 2025
Time: 1:30pm - 3:30pm
Location: Siren Schools Auditorium
24022 4th Avenue, Siren, WI 54872

Northwest Alliance Community Foundation has launched the NACF Legacy Gift Campaign!
We are soliciting 100 three-year pledges of $1,000 for each of three years. Pledges have already begun, but we need your help to meet this goal.
To be able to maintain NACF’s current annual grant awards of $20,000 we must increase our endowed funds by at least $300,000. Without this growth, NACF will have to cut one grant cycle per year and the amount granted will be reduced from its current level.
Will you be 1 of the 100?
Email nacf.hq@gmail.com for more information. Or give online through St. Croix Valley Foundation.
Please indicate that your donation is for a Legacy Gift Campaign Commitment.
Watch for the NACF Nurturing Community column in the Intercounty Leader called . Twice per month we will highlight area nonprofits and how they serve our community.
