stand up speak out…..against tobacco.

Ohio is in crisis when it comes to the use of tobacco products. It permeates the lives of our kids and adults. Stand is a youth led anti- tobacco movement which empowers youth to be true to themselves. It’s not threatening or instructive. It speaks to their natural inclination to be rebellious and their desire to express themselves, and it helps them rebel and speak out against tobacco. It’s about standing for what is right and healthy and against what is dishonest and addictive. Our overall message is simple: You can make a difference in your life and the lives around you by standing up and speaking out against tobacco use.

Whoever said you can’t change anything… Never took a stand. If you’re 12-24, contact us to get involved. Guernsey County stand team guernseystand@yahoo.com or call Jordan @ 439-0577

Upcoming stand Events:
June 22nd & 23rd - Guernsey County Relay for Life at the Meadowbrook High School Track
June 30 - Family Fun Day at Crossroads Ministries
July 14th - stand Summer Training
