Our WJHS ITAT students leading a discussion about stopping vape distribution and selling among their peers. | |
It's a new year, and our resolution is still the same: To Unite and Empower Pacific Islander youth to live healthier lifestyles.
How? By providing culturally meaningful resources, education, and advocacy skills.
In January, our ITAT students prepared for Capitol Day on February 14th. On Capitol Day, ITAT will speak directly to legislators at the capitol about changes they want to see and bills that they want passed.
