At our February 26th meeting, we had the pleasure of hearing from Lori Verderosa, Director of the Middletown Prevention Coalition (MPC), along with two dedicated students from the Islanders Committed group. The MPC was established to promote healthy lifestyles among local youth and families through education, activities, and community engagement.
Lori shared background information about the coalition’s mission and impact, highlighting how the Islanders Committed students group are actively contributing to this cause. The students spoke about their involvement in organizing events, such as a dodgeball tournament designed to bring the community together and foster school spirit. They also reflected on how their participation in these initiatives has personally impacted them.
Islanders Committed members take an active role in promoting health and wellness by sponsoring, hosting, and participating in a variety of fun and positive activities. Their goal is to help build a thriving community where young people feel supported and empowered.
