How we started

The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) requested ongoing funding from the marijuana tax cash fund for youth substance abuse prevention.   

​

The funding was designated for the implementation of the Communities that Care (CTC) model in over 40 communities across Colorado primarily launched in local public health departments.

​

Mountain Youth Network is now funded through foundation contributions as well as state grants from both the Office of Behavioral Health and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
