Our "Teens Against Tobacco" is a group of high school students who will be trained by the Program Director on tobacco control issues.
They will join the Director for community presentations and create a T-shirt with strong tobacco-free messaging.
Additionally, our teens will staff an informational tent for Tobacco Awareness Day in January and work on a project to educate the community.
Be sure to check our links for updates on the activities of our teens and the ways in which you can participate.
