ATCA Youth Leaders Fairbanks

Alexis and Allen went to the Tanana Valley Fair grounds this Wednesday to speak with the Fair Board about trying out a smoke free day at the fair this year. They did AWESOME and were well recieved by the board.

Hi ATCA Youth Leaders and Happy Tuesday!
Today, May 31rst, is World No To***co Day. Around the world, to***co control advocates are making strides to end the epidemic of to***co use. Your work as youth advocates has the GREATEST IMPACT towards these goals, but as always, there is more to be done! Help us out this summer by writing a letter of support, getting outside and being active, or by helping other youth quit using to***co! For more information and to learn more, email [email protected] or cal (907) 891-7453.

Hi ATCA Youth Leaders! Happy May and a great start to the summer season. We have lots of cool things to work on, including a table for the Intertribal Powwow, a video project during the World Eskimo Indian Olympics, and a chance to speak with the Tanana Valley Fair Board about a smoke free Interior fair! If you are interested in any of these projects, don't hesitate to reach out! To learn more, email me at [email protected] or call (907) 891-7453. Hope to see you there!

ATCA youth across the state took part in this national day of to***co prevention and advocacy. Students in Fairbanks participated by displaying the shirts they decorated to "Air Out Big To***co's Dirty Laundry"

Great job to all the students who attended training!

To***co causes 1 in 5 deaths in the United States and contributes to the number 1 cancer killer. If we don't do something now, 18,000 youth in Alaska who are alive today will die prematurely from smoking related causes. To***co steals- let's work together to change that.

TO***CO STEALS To***co steals the most important moments in life. Don’t miss another one. You can quit. We can help. Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW.

Congratulations to our two ATCA Youth selected for the trip to Anchorage February 27th and 28th! The trip is sure to be a fun education and advocacy experience for all! :)
