The White Swan Community Coalition is the voice of White Swan. We are community members from all walks of life that stand together for a healthy a safe community for all. As a group we are working to improve life for everyone. This means that we are working to fight poverty, postpone drug and alcohol use by minors until they are old enough to make a health decision on their own. We also work to keep our kids in school so that they have an opportunity to go further than we ever have. To reach these goals we have to face many obstacles and face them carefully. We are not out to judge anyone but we do have to face community problems like drug use, gang activity, and poverty. We feel that as a group we can face these issues in a manor that reflects the sensitivity of each situation. We work with many different groups such as the Yakama Tribal Police, Washington State Patrol, Yakima Sheriff's Office, White Swan Methodist Church, St. Mary's Catholic Church, Harrah Assembly of God, VetCorps, DBHS, CADCA, and many many more. We are always looking to add more groups so that everyone is represented in supporting our community. We also work with individuals who have individual problems. We want people to come and help make White Swan better then we have ever imagined. As a member of the White Swan Community you are able to attend White Swan Community Coalition meetings and help shape what happens here. Each person that attends has a hand in changes that are made. At this time the WSCC and White Swan Arts and Recreation Committee (WSARC) have worked on programs that directly affect our youth such as the White Swan Dream Makers; who have been working to decrease suicide and increase healthy choices amongst our youth. PAX (Peace productivity happiness health) is another program that has been brought to our youth from people working hard to make improvements here. Most of our community events come through the WSARC and the WSCC; these include Spring and Summer Jam, parades, and other community functions. You have the ability to take part in this improvement and could be part of great things that will forever improve the life of out youth. You can be one of the people that help build the White Swan Park or saves a young person from hardships.
