The Smoke Free Peer Mentorship Program

     Develops anti-tobacco youth advocates, who are trained on how to reduce tobacco use and second-hand smoke in their   community. Mentors participate in coalitions, outreach efforts and anti-tobacco campaigns such as the Tobacco Billboard Ban, A Smoke Free L.A. Zoo, Smoke Free Zones in City of LA Parks, and Smoke Free Beaches and Piers in Redondo Beach. Youth advocates were instrumental in passing the new Curb to Curb Smoking Ban in all Los Angeles City Parks.
