GYC had a great trip to the Utah State Capital last week! We are fortunate and appreciative that 5 of our Representatives and 1 of our Senators was able to visit the youth and talk about the Legislative session. Thank you to all that helped put this trip together.

Finish It!

Check out these two videos produced for the truth's "finish it" campaign. The first video introduces the idea behind "finish it," a theme we have adopted for the year. The second video shows how "stars" are the new spokespersons for tobacco without them even knowing it.

GYC takes their "stuff" to the streets

GYC finished a wonderful year with an awesome advocacy event. Earlier in the year each school participated in a "stuff cart" activity; to wrap up the year GYC district representatives took the "stuff carts" to the streets of Logan.

School Board Vote

At our last GYC district meeting, the GYC was able to see the Cache County School Board vote on the changes GYC proposed for the district's drug policy.  GYC wanted the school board to add e-cigarettes to the policy to help protect students from them. The school board added e-cigarettes and language that bans all nicotine products to help cover any new nicotine delivery devices that may come out in future years. Landon, a GYC leadership member, presented the policy to the school board and asked for a vote, while the rest of GYC was in the audience watching the vote. The school board voted to adopt the changes and added e-cigarettes and nicotine devices to their policy.
