Truth Initiative’s Youth Activism Fellowship (YAF) is a 12-month program designed for 18 – 24 year olds who want to change culture and help end the tobacco epidemic. With a focus on four primary areas – Public Health Impact, Community Engagement, Communications and Policy & Advocacy – Fellows receive specialty training in tobacco-related health equity, community surveillance, effective communication and youth engagement strategies for executing tobacco-related field operations in underserved communities across the country. Selected Fellows meet three times throughout the year in cities such as Washington, D.C., and Sacramento, CA, where they receive training on the public health impact of tobacco, community engagement, communications, and policy and advocacy.
