Current Project: beSomebody & Project Outreach
beSomebody & Project Outreach
Siouxland CARES is raising funds to support the beSomebody Campaign, and also to bolster Project Outreach.
The beSomebody social norming campaign focuses on kindness, doing the right thing, role modeling, reducing bullying, and eliminating the misuse of substances in Siouxland. This initiative shows that in order to make positive change, we must start with ourselves!
Project Outreach is a new program designed by our Mayor's Youth Commission DEI Committee & the Siouxland CARES Outreach Committee to educate community members on how we can be inclusive & welcoming.
Funds will go toward coordination and supplies for these youth-led activities.
Siouxland CARES works to make Siouxland a safe and healthy place for our youth and families by working to reduce risk factors and to bolster protective factors in our community. Thanks for considering a donation as our coalition works to improve the quality of life in Siouxland!

Youth Leaders Initiative
Each year, Siouxland CARES raises funds to support the Youth Leaders Initiative. The initiative works directly with middle school and high school youth to help build their confidence so that they may make positive choices and positively impact our community.
The initiative increases the capacity for youth to make, and influence others to make, healthy, drug-free choices by intervening in situations where healthy choices are not being made, therefore reducing the number of youth using alcohol and other drugs or bullying others. The Youth Leaders Initiative provides educational opportunities to help build citizenship in youth leaders. Students learn a variety of skills through the programs, including Drug Refusal Skills, Public Speaking, Fundraising, Volunteerism, Leadership, Advocacy and Personal Development Skills.
