Members of the Healthy Youth Community Coalition met with Congresswoman Betty McCollum today. They gave the Congresswoman information about the coalition's work in South St. Paul on preventing underage drinking. Rep. McCollum grew up in South St. Paul and graduated from South St. Paul High School, so she was interested in the coalition's work in the community. She had questions for Salvador, a Jovenes de Salud member, about how to coalition's work had affected him. He told her about how Jovenes had helped him gain refusal skills and helped him help his friends when they were thinking about trying alcohol or drugs. Rep. McCollum said she was proud of the work the coalition is doing in South St. Paul.
