North Oakland Community Coalition:

The NOCC will share information to help parents right here in Lake Orion. They will discuss local data regarding youth use, student perceptions, and access. They will bring samples of the most common devices teens are using today to help parents know what to look out for. They will also share their in-school and community-wide prevention efforts that students are exposed to regularly to help you further those conversations at home.
