Community Interview Project: Inspiring Leaders

"Inspiring Leaders" is a community interview project that spotlights community leaders who are serving local youth in bold and creative ways and encourages other adults to do the same.

Goals

Regional Policy, Systems and Environment Goals

1. To increase youth empowerment in our region by partnering with youth-serving organizations to create sustainable pro-social leadership opportunities for youth to communicate their needs to policymakers, and by encouraging and providing other pro-social leadership activities for youth.

   
   

2. To provide systems to help youth/young adults in transition stay quit from Commercial Tobacco. Focus on providing access to evidence-based therapies and healthy coping strategies. 

   
   

3. To change community perceptions regarding cannabis and tobacco use, both regarding its prevalence and its perceived risk, among youth and adults. Engage with community organizations and community members to increase awareness of current data and trends regarding youth substance use. 

   
   

4. Provide education to family-serving organizations about protective factors for youth substance use and the health effects of vaping education to trusting adults.
