Magna United Communities that Care (CTC) aims to connect youth, parents and families, with resources and services in their community which allow emotional, educational, and economic growth opportunities.
Our Commitment
Our coalition is dedicated to preventing youth substance use, and promoting positive youth outcomes. We also provide families with resources. We have a wide range of stakeholders, including Magna residents, youth, and many community partners.
We host and sponsor many events throughout Magna, such as Drug Take Back Day, Trick or Treat on Magna Main Street, Magna Community Connection Night, Magna’s Health & Safety Fair, Cyprus Unites, and Santa Stroll.
Magna in Motion
Magna in Motion operates as a subgroup within the Magna United CTC Coalition, offering a range of resources, information, and inspiration to promote a healthy community in Magna.
Safety and Success
Our Magna United Safety and Success group works to reduce crime in Magna’s young adult population through restorative justice programming such as the Magna Kearns Youth Court.
Youth Coalition
Magna United Youth Coalition is for middle school and high school students who live or go to school in Magna. We equip youth with the skills and tools they need in order to make real community change.
