Learn to Grow provides various prevention resources to the community focused on tobacco use prevention. To insure that the community is receiving the best quality information, we use evidence based curriculums to educate the youth and other community members such as Toward No Tobacco, and Too Good For Drugs, Too Good For Violence for youth middle school to high school age. 

To further promote Tobacco use prevention, Learn To Grow, Inc. implements environmental change strategies geared to toward community-level change using the seven strategies for community-level change.

Learn To Grow, Inc.’s utilization of Policy and Environmental Strategies resulted in the adoption of the CDC Model 100% Tobacco Free School Policy at the Atlanta Public School System in September 2007 and  the Fulton County School System in November 2008.

In July 2012, Learn To Grow, Inc. along with The H.E.A.R.T. Coalition collaborated with the City of Atlanta Councilmembers Joyce Sheperd and Alex Wan, to adopt and pass the ordinance that made all City of Atlanta Parks and Recreation Centers smoke-free.  

Through advocacy, education and activities such as Kick Butts Day, World No Tobacco Day, The Campaign For Tobacco Free Kids Youth Advocacy Symposium, and the Great American Smoke Out, Learn To Grow, Inc.’s Youth Team disseminates helpful information to the community about the reasons they shouldn’t smoke.  This includes education about the harmful effects of tobacco use, health disparities associated with exposure to second-hand smoke, and awareness training about tobacco marketing to communities of low socio-economic status.
