Youth living with an addicted family member are FOUR TIMES more likely to develop their own addiction. The addiction of a family member requires many of these youth to live with grandparents or in foster care.
Camp Mariposa is a mentoring and addiction prevention program for youth who are impacted by the substance abuse of a family member. The primary goal of Camp Mariposa is to give these youth the knowledge, tools and coping skills to prevent them from developing an addiction of their own and to help break the inter-generational cycle of addiction.
We need your help to to bring vital support to more children and families in need. Your gift today can be the difference in a child’s tomorrow.
