Engaged youth are a vital part of our coalitions, but empowered youth can be our strongest advocates. How do we inspire our adult coalition members to empower our youth? What do our youth need from our coalition leaders to be effective? Join us as we discuss solutions to real world challenges from the perspective of both youth and adult coalition leaders. Learn how one community not only involves youth, but gives them the necessary tools to be community champions. Specific examples of youth empowerment will be shared on youth tobacco prevention policy advocacy efforts.
