About me:

Want to Buy us a Prezzie?

My Amazon.com Wish List

A small group of six Eureka teens responded to a homicide committed by a former Eureka High student in late February 2006 by identifying the need for a place that offered an alternative to drinking, using drugs, or spending time on the street. Assisted by the 4-H Youth in Governance training, the teens conducted a survey of 600 area high school students, held two community forums, and decided to launch The Coffee Opp.

COME HELP US MAKE THIS HAPPEN FOR HUMBOLDT YOUTH AND EMERGING ARTISTS!!! We need you to get involved . . .
