Program Goals 

Unidos Por Salud collaborates with different community members including high school youth, college interns and people who have a passion to advocate for healthier tobacco-free communities. Our program goals include Community Engagement and supporting the adoption of a Tobacco Retail License (TRL) policy in the cities of Reedley and Lindsay. 

Community Engagement

  • Leadership and Capacity Building

    We offer various capacity building, civic engagement and leadership opportunities for community members and youth to become leaders in their community.

  • C.A.L.I Youth Coalition

    The C.A.L.I. Youth coalition, present throughout the state under CHC, works to create positive community change by focusing on policy advocacy, partnerships, and core health issues like mental health, nicotine use, and drug prevention.

  • Students at an outreach table getting flyers

    Internships

    We provide a paid internship for students from Fresno State, Reedley College, College of the Sequoias, and Porterville Community College in the Central Valley, focusing on policy change and public health interventions to reduce health issues impacting the Latinx community.

Policy Change

The program supports communities with adopting and implementing Tobacco Retail Licensing policies that create healthier and safer environments for youth and their families by ensuring local and state laws are enforced.
