Session 1: Smoke/Tobacco-Free Advocacy and Youth Engagement (2-hrs)

December 8, 2:30 - 4:30 pm

This session will provide foundational information for TUPE Coordinators on the role of policy, system, and environmental change in the movement to end the burden of commercial tobacco in California.  Participants will learn about the cycle of advocacy and how to engage youth in this process on school grounds or in partnership with community leaders.

Breakout discussions are included to allow time for participants to share local observations and discuss how to address moving from education to advocacy. The session will conclude with a brief discussion on how to use this information to support students in being part of smoke/tobacco-free advocacy initiatives.

Session 2: Incorporating Social Justice Youth Development Practices Into Youth Engagement Activities (2 hours)

Social Justice Youth Development (SJYD) is a framework that builds off of Positive Youth Development and goes a step further to address factors that oppress young people.  This session will focus on SJYD principles and how they can be incorporated into school-based tobacco prevention activities.
