• The Rural Virginia United Coalition

This regional, community-based coalition proactively and collaboratively addresses problems facing youth in their communities.  The mission of the RVUC is to unify and strengthen communities in their efforts to prevent substance use, violence, child abuse, school failure, juvenile delinquency, premature sexual behavior, teen pregnancy, and suicide, and to promote positive youth development.  Since 2000 through grant funding, the RVUC has awarded multiple mini-grants to a wide range of community groups and organizations to implement prevention programming in their communities.  Please call our office for more information on the availability of this funding for your community.   The RVUC website is www.rvuc.com.
