Youth Advocacy Training Institute- The Youth Advocacy Training Institute(YATI) is a program of the Ontario Lung Association. YATI supports youth and youth-serving organizations in Ontario. We do so by providing exciting and interactive learning experiences for youth and adults alike on a variety of topics that help adults and youth work together to improve the health of their communities through advocacy, education, and positive youth development.
Youth Tobacco Vortal Project- The Youth Tobacco Vortal Project was designed to reach youth with tobacco control messages and news of local tobacco-related activities, via the Internet. The project is funded by the Ministry of Health Promotion - Smoke Free Ontario Campaign.
Our vision is to support and link provincial and local efforts in using fully the capability of interactive web-sites, as one inter-related component among other educational, community development and policy initiatives.
