A Youth Action Alliance (YAA) involves high-school age youth in the development of anti-smoking messaging and activities in communities across the province, including Windsor-Essex County.  This project is funded by the Ministry of Health Promotion’s “Smoke Free Ontario Strategy”.

The objectives of a Youth Action Alliance are:
1. to empower youth to make a difference in the health of their peers and community, and
2. to mobilize youth to engage in tobacco control issues.

The Youth Action Alliance will be made up of ten employed peer leaders, youth 14-18 years of age,  and a youth advisor who will guide the peer leaders.

The Windsor- Essex YAA has just hired a full time Youth Advisor and is now in the process of recruiting peer leaders. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a peer leader, please call 519-258-2146 ext. 125.

Stay tuned! More information will be posted as it becomes available.
