N.O.T. (Not On Tobacco)

This is a program designed to educate youth and adults about the health risks of using tobacco, whether it is smoking, dipping or chewing. The target population are at-risk youth.  This program is implemented at our cultural events cultural presentations.  As a result of this program we have created a “Teen Empowerment” program that allows us to address other health risks and youth issues in weekly increments when the students are out of school.
