Welcome back, tigers! It’s certainly a bit different this year. But, know that you’re not alone. We can do this—together—one day at a time! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and successful school year!

We are so excited to introduce our new Youth Coord

We are so excited to introduce our new Youth Coordinator, Erica!
.
.
Erica is a life-long Northport resident, Northport High School alumna and currently attends Stony Brook’s School of Social Welfare. She is excited to create a safe and comfortable space for our youth to connect and grow. Erica believes that we must empower our youth as they’re the foundation of our future!

We asked Erica a few questions to get to know her :)

1. Erica, if you could describe yourself in three words what would they be?

I'd say: creative, sociable, enthusiastic

2. What makes you want to work with our youth coalition, 1LIFE?

I want to work with the youth coalition to create a safe and comfortable space for everyone to empower each other and connect. The youth in our community are the foundation of the future, and it is important to foster their individuality.

3. If you could tell your high school self one thing, what would that be?

I would tell my high school self to take chances, embrace change, and connect to meaningful experiences.

4. What’s one thing you want to tell the world?

I would tell the world something that my dad has always told me: it’s nice to be nice! It's important to foster love for all in our world.

Happy Self-Care Sunday! Today we hear from Cat abo

Happy Self-Care Sunday! Today we hear from Cat about her favorite self care strategy.
“My number one self-care strategy is exercise. Whether it’s hiking, yoga, biking, swimming, dancing…I move every day (out in nature whenever possible!). This makes my whole life brighter: it increases my energy, boosts my mood, reduces my anxiety and helps me connect more with others. I’m grateful everyday that I can move and breathe.”
