Everyone loves a good "before and after", right? Check out the newly renovated theater room at YMCA Camp Nissokone in Oscoda. A grant through the Iosco County Community Foundation helped fund this project. From project coordinator Ryan Mertz: "This renovation added roughly 3,000 sq ft of usable indoor space, transforming a dark storage room into a functional, comfortable lakeside conference room & teen leadership space. We're very excited about the opportunities this space provides as a resource for growth, both in leadership development for youth and our improved ability to host group retreats and conferences. We're already receiving positive feedback from our partner groups who are eagerly looking forward to utilizing the space. We will continue to showcase this space to current and prospective groups to capitalize on the momentum and energy surrounding the improvement." More →

“Because of H20, I feel comfortable in my own skin.” That’s a quote directly from a participant in one of our grantees’ programs. This particular member of Helping to Overcome (H20) could barely make eye contact with people before participating, and now she “holds her head high and smiles all the time.” H20 recently helped 20 Tawas area youth participate in experiential learning opportunities, active community services, and leadership skills-building projects. Much of this was with help from an Iosco County Youth Advisory Council (YAC) grant and other community support. More →
