GCSAPP

The Gunnison County Substance Abuse Prevention Project (GCSAPP) is a community coalition that promotes healthy youth and families in the Gunnison Valley by increasing protective factors and reducing risk factors. A link to their website can be found here.

Grasp partners with GCSAPP to host various family-friendly events such as movie nights, laser tag, roller skating, etc. For a list of monthly happenings, please visit our Upcoming Events Page.

Choice Pass

The Choice Pass celebrates healthy choices and an opportunity for all 6th through 12th-grade youth. Students pledge to stay substance-use-free and make healthy choices for themselves throughout the year. In return, they earn 'perks' from multiple local businesses in Gunnison and Crested Butte. The biggest 'perks' are with our Key Partners, who offer them HUGE discounts on membership passes, such as a discounted ski pass to Crested Butte Mountain Resort.
