MYAN is a program of PROP. The People's Regional Opportunity Program (PROP) is a non-profit, multi-service,  community action agency committed to transforming our community by helping people in need build better lives.
MYAN is funded by a collaborative effort of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Office of Substance Abuse in the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, supported primarily by the Fund for Healthy Maine and state general funds that match the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant.
The specific programs that fund MYAN are:
Partnership For A Tobacco-Free Maine (PTM)
The mission of the PTM is to reduce death and disability due to tobacco use among Maine citizens by creating an environment that is supportive of a tobacco-free life. 
The statewide program, which focuses its efforts primarily on population-based strategies and policy and environmental change, has four primary goals:
- Prevent youth and young adults from starting to use tobacco
- Motivate and assist tobacco users to quit
- Eliminate involuntary exposure to secondhand smoke
- Identify and eliminate disparities related to tobacco use among population groups
Teen & Young Adult Health Program (TYAHP)
TYAHP works with communities and state agencies to assure that all adolescents have skills and access to services, information, and the supports that promote healthy life choices. 
Program Goals:
- To increase teens’ access to health care, including mental health;
- To increase healthy behaviors of adolescents;
- To reduce teen pregnancy and unintended births;
- To promote positive youth development and youth involvement; and
- To promote evidence-based programs and integrated services.
Office of Substance Abuse (OSA)
The Maine Office of Substance Abuse is the single state administrative authority responsible for the planning, development, implementation, regulation, and evaluation of substance abuse services. 
The Office provides leadership in substance abuse prevention, intervention, and treatment. Its goal is to enhance the health and safety of Maine citizens through the reduction of the overall impact of substance use, abuse, and dependency.
Communities for Children & Youth (C4CY)
Communities for Children and Youth, an initiative of the Governor's Cabinet, generously donated the funds to assist MYAN in the initial set-up of this website and online community.
