we are
We are The Orono Coalition! We care deeply for the people who make up the Orono community and work together to foster connectedness and support well-being for all. We are a volunteer-based organization representing 14 different sectors and community organizations, including over 40 members. The coalition is made up of community members, Orono students, Orono Schools staff, local law enforcement, parents of Orono students, local business owners, and community stakeholders who value being future-focused and hope-filled! We strongly believe the positive exists in our community and is worth highlighting and growing!
