What is Y Street?
Y Street is a 100% youth-led movement that drives campaigns that focus on obesity and tobacco prevention. Since 2004, Y Street has meaningfully engaged high school students in promoting community health, formed partnerships with 90+ schools, and trained more than 10,500 youth to educate their communities and influence policy change.
In 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) included Y Street in a guide of initiatives across the country demonstrating best practices for tobacco prevention and control. These youth were featured for their work in helping schools across the Commonwealth of Virginia go tobacco- and e-cigarette-free.
