Kearney-Holt Community 2000 is one of the original trained teams under the MO 100 initiative and was restructured in 1993 under Community 2000. Kearney – Holt Community 2000 members include many segments of the community wheel from the Kearney and Holt area.
Kearney – Holt Community 2000 has developed strategies that make every effort to include the entire population, from pre-school children to Senior Citizens, and to involve every component (business, faith, civic, school, parents, students, city, county, law enforcement, health, etc.) of the community. The programs are well integrated and designed to support one another.
Major programs include:
AFTERhOURS Program
Community Educational and Awareness Programs
Project Respect
Rachel’s Challenge
Blossoming Readers Program
Developmental Assets – Raising Successful Children
Parenting with Love and Logic
Community Wide Social Marketing Campaigns
Underage Drinking Video and Speaker’s Bureau.
The community has been very supportive of these programs. As a result, we have accomplished numerous successful outcomes that include:
Open House Parties Ordinance
Keg Tracking Ordinance
These ordinances were passed prior to becoming state laws.
Mission Statement
Children will be born free from the
effects of alcohol and other drugs.
School children from their earliest
years shall understand the effects
of alcohol and other drugs and
employ basic resistance strategies,
coping skills and healthy lifestyle alternatives where the community
culture is supportive of healthy
lifestyles and where non use of
alcohol and other drugs is
an accepted norm.
