Our goal is to lower youth access to tobacco. This project includes, among numerous other objectives, working with 3 target high schools, conducting tobacco and e-cigarette prevention education presentations to over 1,200 high school students, developing meaningful and active youth task forces at each high school, and conducting outreach with parents from each of the 3 high schools. Also, the project includes working with all of the tobacco retailers within a 2-mile radius of the high schools and partnering with law enforcement to assess illegal sales to youth as well as educating the merchants on youth access laws, developing and institutionalizing a 5 Star Merchant reward program and a Social Sources awareness campaign. 152867 0 0 Since 2010, America On Track has been implementing two consecutive 5-year grants from the California Tobacco Control Project (CTCP), California Department of Public Health to reduce secondhand smoke exposure in Orange County. These efforts focus on voluntary and legislated policy work in the arenas of Smoke-Free Multi-Unit Housing, Smoke-Free Recreational Areas, Smoke-Free Outdoor Dining, Smoke-Free Residential Child Care Centers, and a new Smoke-Free Homes project in partnership with Emory University. 679281 0 0 America On Track was awarded a 4-year grant (2013-2017) and a subsequent 3-year grant (2017-2020) from the County of Orange Health Care Agency, Nutrition Services to provide direct nutrition education classes to adults and children who participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and who subsist below the federal poverty level in various key locations in Orange County. The newest 3-year grant specifically focuses on using a collective impact approach in the cities of Buena Park and Santa Ana. 411252 0 0 Physical Education Program (PEP): In October 2016, America On Track received another 3-year Carol M. White Physical Education Program grant to implement the On Track through Fitness & Nutrition project, a comprehensive physical activity, health, and nutrition program to directly serve 5,000 K-8 students in Buena Park, CA to help them meet State Standards. AOT, with seven collaborative community partners, is using promising new strategies as well as existing past proven strategies from two prior successful PEP grants (2007-10 and 2011-14) to address critical gaps as well as enhance health and fitness services at ten schools. The partnering local education agency is the Centralia Elementary School District (CESD), which consists of eight elementary schools enrolling over 4,500 students in grades K - 6. Additionally, two K - 8 Catholic elementary schools of the Diocese of Orange (St. Pius V and St. Justin Martyr, with approximately 500 students), which are within the CESD catchment area, are also being served. AOT is providing and coordinating intensive, evidence-based services that offer multiple opportunities for vigorous physical activity and health education. The overall project goal is to improve the children's physical fitness by undertaking instruction in physical education activities, healthy eating habits, and good nutrition, with an ultimate goal of creating life-long healthier habits. 145315 0 0 America On Track's Brighter Futures for Children of Prisoners program is a holistic and multi-faceted comprehensive approach to helping the most vulnerable children of Orange County. For 16 years now, the successes of our Brighter Futures program for children of prisoners has been based on 5 interwoven components: a one-on-one mentoring program with trained and carefully selected adults who meet with their mentees every week for 2 hours per week; STEM workshops on a quarterly basis to promote a useful and fun approach to science; a "College Is For Me Too" summer educational/inspirational camp at a college campus to demonstrate that college is attainable and enjoyable, free age-appropriate books, and special outing. Additionally, nutritional seminars and wraparound services are provided to the guardians. Since the cost of incarceration is now 269 billion dollars per year nationwide and Orange County is #7 in the Nation in prison population, and 1 of every 5 CA discretionary dollars goes to incarceration, this is a problem of great magnitude. The children of incarcerated parents (over 20,000 in OC alone) who did not choose these parents are predicted to follow in their footsteps if they do not receive support and guidance. AOT is the only nonprofit in OC providing comprehensive services to these "forgotten" children. 56107 5887 0 America On Track's Emerging Leaders program is a unique, multi-faceted afterschool program designed to inspire today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders through a focus on the development of strong leadership and public speaking skills in order to help create a brighter future. It is a huge time commitment because it pairs outstanding teens with 4th through 6th grade students in a very structured afterschool program that requires weekly attendance from 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm throughout the entire school year (30 sessions). America On Track staff members lead the program that provides the following components: Leadership Training, effective Public Speaking Skills Coaching, Training on How to Become a Successful Mentor, Social & Character Development, Nutrition Education, Music Appreciation as well as Fitness & Recreation, and much more.

The teens receive intensive and ongoing training and are coached to assist in presenting lessons. It is a synergistic approach to developing future leaders. Our Emerging Leaders program is designed to benefit the teens and the elementary school students as well as our communities. 60318 0 0 In 2018, America On Track was awarded a 5-year subcontract from Vista Community Clinics, through funding from the California Tobacco Control Project (CTCP), California Department of Public Health to reduce secondhand smoke exposure in the Southcoast Region.
