Values
Collaboration:
- Community leaders from community-based agencies and faith-based organizations
- Representatives from health clinics, state/county health departments, and research centers
- Youth
Building Community Capacity: We provide resources, leadership development training, and education to our partners, who can then mobilize their respective communities to address health disparities issues.
Youth Leadership & Self-Empowerment: We value youth involvement by supporting leadership development and educational activities.
Education: We educate our partners about all aspects of commercial tobacco, e-cigarettes/vapes and cannabis, so that they may share this knowledge with others in their communities. These aspects include:
- Harmful effects to smoker
- Harmful effects of second-hand smoking
- Cessation resources
- Media literacy
- Current regulations
When possible, we also provide education on healthy nutrition, active living, childhood obesity and other health disparity issues.
