ON A MISSION
The tween and teen years can be especially confusing for both kids and parents.
As the Sylvania Community Action Team, also known as SCAT, we have made it our mission to offer the knowledge, guidance, and encouragement needed to navigate this challenging time for families. We look at issues from all angles of prevention and offer support to everyone involved - youth, parent, and community. By taking a big-picture approach and working together, we can achieve the best possible present and future for all of Sylvania.
