Teens Against Tobacco

 TOBACCO MARKETING TARGET FOR OUR YOUTH.PDF

Our "Teens Against Tobacco" is a group of high school students who will be trained by the Program Director on tobacco control issues.
They will join the Director for community presentations  and create a T-shirt with strong tobacco-free  messaging.
Additionally, our teens will staff an informational tent for Tobacco Awareness Day in January and work on a project to educate the community.

Be sure to check our links for updates on the activities of our teens and the ways in which you can participate.

Leaders to Leaders Youth Summit on March 8, 2013

http://www.youthbridgeny.org/#/youth-summit/4559414634


The goal of the Leaders to Leaders Youth Summit is to inspire young leaders to take charge by empowering them with knowledge of the possibilities, skills, and the training they need to turn ideas into action.  Students will engage with New York City’s top change makers by discussing pressing diversity issues and developing a network of youth leaders.   Participants will then go back to their communities, where they will implement a diversity project.  YouthBridge-NY will then follow-up with them in the spring to evaluate their progress.

The implementation of a diversity project at one’s school or community is the highlight of this year’s Leaders to Leaders Youth Summit.  Students should not only learn from the event, but also be inspired and equipped to bring change back to their own schools and communities.  It is suggested that student supervisors who attend the conference serve as club advisors at their school/organization, nominate 3-5 student leaders to attend, and advise them as they work to implement their own diversity project.  As part of the conference agenda, supervisors and students will have the time to begin planning a diversity project and may bounce their ideas off of the workshop presenters and other participants.


YouthBridge-NY is a nonprofit leadership development organization that convenes and trains young people to meet the challenges of an extremely diverse New York City.

Vision Statement: YouthBridge-NY is devoted to improving the atmosphere of respect and diversity in our city and the schools and community organizations in which our youth leaders live and learn. YouthBridge-NY youth leaders are proactively involved in the leadership and diversity landscape of our city and are dedicated to improving the quality of life for all.

What to expect at the conference?

Case Study Sessions with Leaders

    Students will be divided into groups and meet with 6 different entrepreneurial leaders who have identified an issue/need, found a solution, and evaluated their success.

Each spring, YouthBridge-NY recruits high school 10th graders to participate in this two-year leadership training program, which begins the following Fall when they start 11th grade

Year 1 - "Fellows" (11th grade)
Fellows take part in monthly skill-building workshops and specialized action committees focusing on appreciating diversity through photography, grant-making, or diversity in the workplace.

Year 2 - "Bridgers" (12th grade)
In their second year of the Fellowship, participants become Bridgers (seniors in high school) and participate in advanced skill-building workshops and engage with YouthBridge-NY Alumni and Board Members.

Other Opportunities
Fellows and Bridgers participate in a kick-off summer retreat, special meetings with corporate and City leaders, build friendships with peers from all five-boroughs, and more!
