YOUTH ENGAGEMENT Student Action Team at the Minnesota State Capitol in the Governor's Room WETV member teaching middle schoolers about the dangers of the tobacco industry. WETV member talking with Representative Herr. Student Action Team at the Minnesota State Capitol in the Governor's Room 1/6 Why Engage Youth? At ANSR, we believe that youth are not just the future, they're powerful leaders right now. We know young people bring fresh ideas, lived experience, and unmatched energy into commercial tobacco prevention. Their voices have the power to influence their peers, shift community norms, and drive meaningful policy change. By investing in youth leadership, we're helping students build skills in advocacy, public speaking, and organizing, while also ensuring that prevention strategies reflect the realities of their generation. Meet Our Youth Groups! Student Action Team with ANSR President, Jeanne Weigum and Monique Muggli from Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids Student Action Team members at their 2025 Mini Day at the Capitol. Ramsey County Student Action Team (SAT) The Ramsey County Student Action Team (SAT) is led by staff from the Association for Nonsmokers - MN and is partially funded by a grant from the Minnesota Department of Health through the Youth E-Cigarette Prevention and Cessation Initiative as well as a grant from Saint Paul - Ramsey County Public Health through the Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP) of the Minnesota Department of Health, as well as a grant from Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids. A total of 21 youth from 11 communities across Ramsey County participate in the SAT group. They are a dedicated group of youth advocates united by a common mission: stopping Big Tobacco. They’ve witnessed the impact of commercial tobacco use and nicotine addiction on their peers, family members and community, and they refuse to let this insidious industry continue targeting youth. Members of Ramsey County SAT have advocated at multiple levels of government in Minnesota for effective policies to prevent youth tobacco use. At the local level, they have worked to strengthen policies in the cities of Vadnais Heights, Arden Hills, New Brighton and Saint Anthony Village, including ending sales of flavored commercial tobacco products, capping the number of retailers allowed to sell tobacco products, increasing fines for retailers who break the law, and keeping prices high through minimum price and coupon policies. They are particularly proud that, in November 2024, the Vadnais Heights City Council voted unanimously to end flavored tobacco sales after members of Ramsey County SAT testified before the council, organized letters of support and submitted letters to the editor in the local newspaper. At the state level, Ramsey County SAT participated in MN Day at the Capitol, making a bold statement with bright pink “Keep Lungs Loud!” t-shirts. They met with state legislators, engaged with the media and came together to make their voices heard. Their efforts helped convince a local lawmaker to co-sponsor the bill to end flavored tobacco sales. Students have also helped conduct compliance checks to ensure retailers aren’t selling tobacco products to youth and educated middle schoolers about the harms of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products. Recent Accomplishemts Teens representing the Ramsey County Student Action Team (SAT) accepted the Group Advocates of the Year award from the national organization Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids at a ceremony in Washington, D.C. on May 8, 2025. Clara Seeley of White Bear Lake, Summer Balfanz of Roseville, and Mỹ Linh Nguyễn of Arden Hills, accepted the award on behalf of the entire SAT group. The award recognizes the group's leadership in preventing nicotine addiction among their peers. Student Action Team members accepting the "Youth Group Advocates of the Year" Award Wash Escapes the Vape (WETV) Wash Escapes the Vape (WETV) is a group of dedicated high school students at Washington Technology Magnet School in St. Paul, MN that is led by staff from the Association for Nonsmokers - MN as well as a Health Educator at the MN Community Care School-based Clinic. WETV is funded by a grant from the Minnesota Department of Health through the Youth E-Cigarette Prevention and Cessation Initiative that focuses on building youth leaders to support youth e-cigarette prevention and cessation efforts. The group has spent time advocating and spreading their message at all levels of government. They have also worked hard to educate their peers on commercial tobacco prevention and to change the culture around vaping through community outreach events and also in-class presentations at their school. Recently, a few of the students interviewed local health professionals to find out about the dangers of vaping, how young people can take a stand against the tobacco industry, and to promote their school's Health Start Clinic. Members of Wash Escapes the Vape in front of the Minnesota State Capitol Interviews feature: Gene Nichols, ANSR-MN Board Member talks about how young people can stand up to the tobacco industry. Dr. Susan Molina explains why quitting nicotine can be challenging. Dr. Sadak tells us the most important things to know about vaping. Recent Accomplishemts On February 28th, 2025, eight WETV students took their voices to the Minnesota State Capitol, making a bold statement with bright pink “Keep Lungs Loud!” t-shirts. Students met with several lawmakers, including Representative Lee, Representative Hussein, Representative Hollins, Senator Pappas, Senator Verbeteen, and Senator Murphy, to share how flavored commercial tobacco affects them, their friends, families, and communities. Students highlighted the dangers of flavored products and the urgent need to end their sale, emphasizing how these products are designed to attract and addict young people. By sharing their personal stories and advocating for stronger policies, our WETV youth are making a powerful impact in the fight for a healthier future! Members of Wash Escapes the Vape talking with MN Representative Athena Hollins. Youth Engagement Best Practices Engaging youth in commercial tobacco prevention requires thoughtful approaches that empower them to take ownership of their projects and advocacy efforts. At ANSR, we've found that following best practices to be crucial for fostering meaningful, impactful youth involvement. Youth Led, Adult Supported At ANSR we do our best to give young people the space to lead while guiding the scenes. We empower their ideas and help turn their visions into action. Skip the Scare Tactics While fear appeals sometimes lead to changes in perceptions or behavior, they are far less effective than strategies that model skills and solutions to limit risk behaviors. Fear appeals can cause trauma and harm, and often do not lead to positive changes. Consistency Builds Community Regular meeting times, clear communication, regular action opportunities and follow-through help youth feel valued and connected. Take time to identify each student's strengths, each young person brings different skill sets. A “one size fits all” approach is not effective. Compensate Youth for Their Time Youth are experts in their own experiences and should be treated as such. At ANSR, we have the ability to offer stipends, gift cards or other forms of compensation for their time, leadership, and creativity. Adults are compensated, so should young people.
