  3. TRU PHASE III GRANTS (JULY 2006 – JUNE 2009)

  4. WHY A REGIONAL TRAINING? Remind the youth that they are part of a statewide movement Give youth a chance to network and share ideas in a setting where they can be heard Provide time to work on a specific regional project; regional projects increase the odds of successful outreach and media Save money vs. a statewide training

  5. THE PLAN FOR THE RETREAT To learn the difference between smokeless tobacco and spit tobacco products To learn about new tobacco products that are currently being test marketed or that have recently made it to the market To build TRU leaders from each community to create youth-led partnerships in the Central Region To share current, successful initiative from each county To plan and execute a regionally unified but local, Through With Chew Week advocacy initiative

  6. 2009 WINTER RETREAT COUNTIES Participating Counties Sophia, NC
