The West Virginia Partnership
To Promote Community Well-Being

Workgroups

The Partnership has established several workgroups (listed below) to carry out its work. Each workgroup consists of at least three Partnership members and is staffed by a WV Prevention Resource Center staff member. Workgroups may also include other non-Partners who have volunteered to participate because of their expertise in and experience with a workgroup's particular focus. All of the files listed were created in Adobe Acrobat. A free reader can be downloaded from Adobe Systems Inc.
