Northfield Healthy Community Initiative’s (HCI) mission is to foster a collaborative environment in Northfield that empowers youth, strengthens families, and builds community.
HCI works with community partners to foster collaboration and to support community-driven efforts that benefit Northfield youth and families. By offering its support, HCI strives to build the capacity of the community to more effectively serve its young people.

Recently, the Mayor’s Youth Council (MYC) successfully applied to have Northfield named as one of the “100 Best Communities for Young People.“ As a result, the MYC received funding to support efforts in the community to encourage high school graduation.
With this funding, the MYC is making grants available to groups to help promote graduation and increase our local graduation rates.
A total of $2,000 is available for Northfield projects. The application is designed to be short and easy to complete. It can be found HERE.
Applications are due by Friday, January 27, 2012.
