Learn About Spectrum Youth and Family Services

Dare to Learn More About How You Can Help the Community

One of the 2012 Champlain College Community Campaign goals is to offer educational opportunities to the faculty, staff and our students related to the services we support through our annual United Way gifts.

There are 64 programs at 30 United Way member agencies which received funding this year, including  Spectrum Youth and Family Services, which directly works with teenagers and young adults.

Spectrum has been recognized locally and nationally for best practices programs empowering teenagers and young adults through positive changes.  It received $45,000 this year through the United Way allocation process for counseling services.
