The Youth Empowerment Program (YEP)

YEP is a group of teens who are trained to be community advocates promoting an anti-tobacco message. The group focuses on environmental issues that can help reduce tobacco use and works to raise the awareness of the dangers associated with second-hand smoke. They participate in local health fairs and events, attend council meetings and petition the community to join together for a smoke-free environment.

Youth throughout Madison county ages 11-18 are encouraged to join the group as the program gears up activities after summer break. Anyone interested can contact Janet Craig by phoning 256.539-7339 or emailing craigjl@hiwaay.net. Or you can print the application below (PDF), complete it and fax it to 256.539.7386.
