Project Overview: The focus of the Advocacy through Art Project is to both prevent tobacco use and to educate youth to be community advocates, specifically focusing on tobacco industry marketing and how it impacts youth tobacco use. Youth will learn about the issues related to youth vaping, including impacts on health, and targeting marketing strategies used by tobacco companies. Youth will learn how policies play a role to make positive impact on health and individual behavior. Artwork will be promoted throughout the community and shared on social media once finished to increase community awareness.

  • Will design their own art project and help develop promotion plans for finished artwork.
