Taylor White Foundation

The Foundation

Carol and Kevin White have established the Taylor White Foundation for Advancing our Community, Inc. in memory of their son. Taylor was killed in an automobile accident while out with his friends. In a desire for Taylor's death to be a force for good, a foundation has been created that works toward building a community environment that better supports Juneau teens in healthy choices around high risk behaviors (including drugs and alcohol).

The foundation envisions focusing in 3 areas:

1. Explore proactive measures that support current efforts to limit access to alcohol and drugs;
2. Provide a forum for teens' voices to be heard as they communicate to adults and other teens about issues important to their wellbeing;
3. Develop activities and outlets for teenagers that are engaging, exciting, and challenging with acceptable risk.
