HIFY UPDATES:

We at HIFY have been busy the past two months providing Go Healthy
Workshops, Inservices, Training of Trainers, and Digital Storytelling
workshops. We also successfully completed 3/4 of our Fall Provider
Trainings. Because of small attendance we rescheduled our Health and
Youth Development training for some time late January or early
February (specific dates TBA). This means that if you're interested in
attending we may still have space for you! Email me for more
information.

Hope all is well at your organization, and have a happy holiday.

Tina
