$1.5 MILLION IN GRANTS WILL SUPPORT ALCOHOL AND DRUG PROGRAMS FOR
AT-RISK OHIO KIDS

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Twenty-two grants totaling $1.5 million will help
strengthen school-based alcohol and drug prevention programs in Ohio.

The governor's office said Monday that the Building Youth Resiliency
grants will help at-risk kids in 19 counties. The program - part of
Ohio's new youth drug prevention initiative called Start Talking! -
targets students in 5th through 9th grades.

Building Youth Resiliency is a partnership between the Office of the
First Lady Karen Kasich (KAY'-sihk), the Governor's Office of
Faith-Based Initiatives and several state agencies. It is supported by
federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families dollars.

Programs were selected from a pool of 38 proposals. To be eligible,
applicants were required to partner with schools where more than 40
percent of the student population qualifies for the free- and reduced-
lunch program.
