CCC&Y Spotlight — Time to gather details on your hopes, goals, resolutions for 2026

Dec 16, 2025

COCONINO COUNTY —  With 2026 rapidly approaching, we want to find out what hopes, dreams, goals or (if you are willing to share) resolutions you may have for the coming year.

Maybe it’s setting a personal physical or mental health goal? Maybe it’s achieving a family or professional goal? Maybe more vacation travel, carving out more personal time or spending more time with friends and loved ones?

Imagining a world where every person lives in peace and is supported by a thriving, resilient community starts with all of us and your dreams and goals feed back into the collective.

We want to know so we can include your thoughts when our newsletter returns on Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2026, following our two-week newsletter break starting Dec. 17. And please let us know if you want us to share your comments anonymously with all our newsletter subscribers.

Maybe it’s too early to think about setting goals for the coming year. Instead, you can tell us what you are most proud of that you have done in 2025, be it a personal or professional accomplishment. For the Coalition, one of the things we are most proud of is our collaboration with our community partners on a variety of resource events throughout the year. (See photos below).

CCC&Y Spotlight — Your membership supports variety of community efforts

Dec 9, 2025

COCONINO COUNTY — In 2025, the Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth, a local non-profit in service for more than 50 years, was able to be a founding supporter to the Voices Unheard movement because of the support we receive. (Please see elev8voices.info for details.)

We were able to respond when approached by the community for urgent needs when many others were not able. As a membership organization, our members are the first line of support that we receive, and it is crucial for this vital work that we do.

If you were able to attend Voices Unheard, you know how powerful, emotional, healing, educational and impactful that it was- how important it was to honor our community and their stories. And our members really helped us to be a part of this important work.

If you are interested in supporting our work to ignite collective action that creates better lives for children and families- Your membership is more than a dollar amount- it lends your name to a mission and a movement.

CCC&Y Spotlight — Speakers share their words, experiences at “Voices Unheard: Breaking the Silence” community gathering in Flagstaff

Oct 28, 2025

FLAGSTAFF — While October’s National Domestic Violence Awareness Month is quickly coming to a close, that doesn’t mean the issue should be put behind us for another year.

Speakers at the “Voices Unheard: Breaking the Silence” — A community gathering for prevention, strength and healing, made it clear that domestic violence, stalking and human trafficking are all ongoing issues that must be addressed year round by community leaders, law enforcement and others. 

Sponsored by the Coconino Coalition for Children & Youth, Coconino County, the City of Flagstaff and CF Productions, LLC., the event featured a number of speakers who shared their personal stories of facing abuse and how they overcame those challenges.

“It was remarkable the way the community came together to support this series of events. Being able to bring speakers with such a wide array of experience and working knowledge together while seeing so many community members arrive both in support and to learn was truly special,” said Virginia Watahomigie, executive director of the Coalition.
