    Kelly Lee, MATFORCE Education Coordinator, said, “This is a fun way for students to have their voices heard about issues related to substance abuse and peer pressure.  We value their input and feedback on such an important topic and hope we can instill pride in being MATFORCE’s voice of youth.”

    YC2 youth assist with anti-substance abuse projects, media commercials and community events.  Students can earn scholarships and receive service hours based upon their participation.
