• Bismarck Youth Action Summit
• Fargo Youth Action Summit – TBD

North Dakota youth and young people in middle and high school who are passionate about making positive impacts in their school, community, and state to prevent the next generation from a lifelong addiction to nicotine.

“I think the most useful component of the YAS was the part about how we can spread our opinions through social media. Even though I don’t have or use it, I feel it is a powerful way to share your opinion.”
 – Summit Attendee

“The most useful component of the YAS this year was learning about how much power youth have to put an end to the use of nicotine and tobacco products”

– Summit Attendee
