Hi, I’m Brian Duda, the new Youth Substance Prevention Coordinator at Healthy Lamoille Valley. I have an extensive background in afterschool education and am a recent graduate of NVU – Johnson. I enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities especially hiking, skiing, and biking as well as playing music.
I will be advising the Lamoille Area Youth Council, a group of Lamoille area youth who are interested in engaging in community projects aimed at preventing substance use, promoting healthy, positive choices for their peers, and developing their leadership skills.
Interested parents and youth are invited to join one of my meet and greet sessions Wednesday, December 9th or Wednesday, December 16th. from 5-5:30pm on Zoom, featuring the Lamoille Area Youth Council, a discussion about the Youth Council’s work, and a substance use and prevention trivia game.
