Dream Makers Attend CADCA Mid-Year Training Institute

Jul 17, 2026

Four of our Dream Makers, along with teacher Nancy Donato, traveled to Orlando, Florida from July 12th to 16th to attend CADCA's 25th Annual Mid-Year Training Institute. Over four days of hands-on sessions, they were immersed in the Strategic Prevention Framework, building a deep understanding of how to move from needs assessment and capacity building through planning, implementation, and evaluation in a way that's sustainable for our community. They return better equipped to lead prevention efforts here, with sharper tools for coalition building, strategic planning, and data-driven decision-making. Look for them at the September coalition meeting, where they'll share what they learned and how we can put it to work in White Swan.
