Our programs work to promote environmental wellness through community education and prevention, while also providing advocacy for many environmental concerns/issues within Tribal communities in Maine.
Our Tobacco program provides education on Commercial Tobacco prevention and Traditional tobacco. Which includes but not limited to: prevention of youth initiation; reducing exposure to secondhand smoke; and promotion of tobacco treatment through the Maine QuitLink. The Tobacco Program also assists with Tobacco policies for Tribal communities.
We promote empowering youth and community voices to become environmental leaders within tribal communities through community projects and hands-on learning.
