Becoming QY Youth Staff
TRU QY Youth Staff are dynamic young people. Download the Youth Leader Application if you are interested. Many youth started with little or no experience in teen tobacco prevention or advocacy, but through on-the-job training, they were able to make huge differences in the state of North Carolina.
