About This Grant:
Aroostook County Action Program’s initiative focuses on equipping young individuals with the skills to effectively lead tobacco prevention curriculum sessions among their peers. Additionally, participants will receive guidance on advocacy strategies, including peer-to-peer approaches, fostering the development of their confidence, knowledge, and leadership abilities. By amplifying the engagement of our youth, we actively counter the harmful narrative promoted by commercial tobacco – that a sense of belonging is linked to smoking cigarettes.
