Graduation season is here and you’ve earned this moment. 🎓✨

Celebrate, have fun, make memories… but keep it smart:
✔️ Stay with people you trust
✔️ Have a plan to get home safely
✔️ Don’t feel pressured to drink or use substances

The best nights are the ones you actually remember.

The NBA Finals bring excitement – but also increased exposure to sports betting. With apps and ads everywhere, teens are seeing gambling normalized more than ever. Early exposure can increase the risk of problem gambling later in life.

💬 Talk with your teen about:
✔️ The realities behind betting
✔️ Financial risks
✔️ Making informed choices

Awareness starts at home. 💛

Looking for a free way to get the kids outside and moving this summer?

The Summit Metro Parks offer miles of trails, playgrounds, picnic areas, and even nature programs – all completely FREE.

Whether it’s a family hike, a nature scavenger hunt, or just letting the kids burn off energy, it’s a great way to unplug and connect.

Fresh air + family time = a natural mood booster. That's a win for everybody!

June is PRIDE Month – A time to celebrate love, identity, and the strength of the LGBTQ+ community. 🌈

At Summit County Community Partnership, we believe every young person deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported just as they are. When youth feel accepted, they’re more likely to make healthy choices and thrive. Let’s continue building a community where everyone belongs. 💛

If you or someone you love needs support, the 988 Lifeline is available 24/7 – call or text 988.

Happy Pride Month, friends!

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, the message remains the same:

Your mental health matters.

If you’re struggling, support is available. Talking to someone can make a difference.

You can call or text 988 anytime to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

Help is always there when you need it.

A small donation can spark big change! Just $5 helps us continue vital work in the community, creating opportunities for prevention and support. Together, we can make a real difference!

❤️🖤💚 Juneteenth Stronger Together 2026 is coming to Akron!

Join us June 17, 19 & 20 for community, culture, conversations, fireworks, live entertainment, food, vendors, family activities, and celebration across the city.

Let’s honor the past while building the future — together. ✨

Today we pause to honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives while serving our country.

Memorial Day can also be a difficult day for many families and veterans who carry the weight of loss.

If today feels heavy, know that you are not alone. Support is available, and reaching out can make a difference.

We remember. We honor. We reflect.
