The listing to the left provides links to current major projects of PACT 4 Families Collaborative working with its many partners to support efforts on behalf of children and families. PACT 4 provides a network to share ideas and resources and to seek funding for new and continuing efforts. Many PACT 4 programs are funded by grants from state and federal agencies. Others are paid for through Local Collaborative Time Study (LCTS) dollars and membership dues. Although the Collaborative strives to retain all programs that are showing positive benefit to youth and families, some programs do end when the funding source dries up. Existing projects include:

•        SHARE, a Safe Schools/Healthy Students initiative for which the New London-Spicer School District is fiscal host.

•        Restorative Justice/Circle Sentencing project that provides alternative sentencing for youthful offenders in Kandiyohi County.

•        Chemical Health Coalitions in Renville and Yellow Medicine counties to reduce/eliminate underage consumption of chemicals.

•        21^st Century Community Learning Center, a project that provides after-school/summer-school activities for at risk youth.

•        Chemical Health for Hispanic Youth, a project to assist Hispanic/Latino youth involved with illegal chemical consumption.
