Coalition Form

Youth Advisory Coalition

The San Bernardino County Tobacco Control Program (SBCTCP) Youth Advisory Coalition was established to ensure students have an opportunity to take the lead and create meaningful change in their communities in tobacco control efforts. Youth Advisory Coalition members will be provided with fun, innovative training on tobacco prevention, leadership skills, public speaking, data collection, policy/advocacy work, working with elected officials and social norm change. Using these skills, advisory board members will be assisted in planning and organizing their own tobacco control efforts in their respective communities on the issues of tobacco-free outdoor recreation areas and healthcare facilities and/or zoning and density of tobacco retailers.

Coalition

Coalition For A Tobacco-Free
San Bernardino County

MISSION

The Coalition for a Tobacco-Free San Bernardino County is a group of community representatives who want to make a difference, and are dedicated to preventing and reducing tobacco use through empowerment, mobilization, education, advocacy, and coordination at the local and state levels. The Coalition consists of a variety of organizations, governmental agencies, and volunteers from San Bernardino County that gather to improve the health and well-being of the community, in particular, the needs of underserved and underrepresented groups that are disproportionately affected by tobacco products. The Coalition works to achieve health equity through the use of a social and racial justice lens in our policy efforts to not create further inequities.

Goal

To eliminate the death, disease and health care costs caused by tobacco products in San Bernardino County through advocacy, education, and policy. The Coalition will act as a champion for tobacco-control related issues within San Bernardino County, and will cultivate partnerships that promote the mission of the Coalition. Through these efforts, the Coalition will strive to empower local communities so they can become the leaders in tobacco control within their own neighborhood.

MEETINGS

The Coalition meets the second Thursday of every other month from 1-3 p.m. Meetings alternate from being held in person to being conducted via Zoom. To register for a meeting please contact the Coalition via email.
