Time has come for re:TH!NK to get some new energetic and motivated youth involved in the coalitions mission! Since I (Laura Wilner) have come on board there has be a spike in youth engagement and involvement. There are re:TH!NK groups across the county! Maplewood Middle School, YouthGo in Menasha, The Boys and Girls Club in Oshkosh, I am working with Oshkosh North and West for a large safe prom campaign, along with Winneconne High School and Omro! I also started  a  F.A.C.T. ( Fighting Against Cooperate Tobacco) group at Oshkosh North which involves anywhere from 20-40 kids each meeting. We are currently trying to start a F.A.C.T. group at Oshkosh West along with a re:TH!NK group as well!   The youth in Winnebago County have started to make a difference in our community! They have been educating their peers and will soon be reaching out to the rest of the community!
