Smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. and over the past two decades, the Paso del Norte Health Foundation has led a bold regional movement to reduce to***co use and exposure to second-hand smoke.

Thanks to effective policies, education and partnerships, smoking rates have declined from a high of 24% in 2001 to 13% today - lower than the Texas average. What began as a push to eliminate indoor smoking has grown into a multi-front effort to support quitting, protect youth, and promote a culture of wellness for all.

The Paso del Norte Health Foundation (Health Foundation) seeks Letters of Intent (LOIs) from eligible organizations to promote the Health Foundation’s Strategic Plan for the Healthy Kids Initiative.

Specifically, the Health Foundation seeks LOIs to increase the number of disconnected youth ages 5-17 who participate in out-of-school time (OST) programs. Disconnected youth refers to children ages 5-17 years old who do not have a safe environment, a positive activity, and a trusted adult outside of school. Connected youth are involved in out-of-school time activities in a safe place with a caring adult. Connected youth also tend to avoid situations and behaviors that compromise health while engaging in activities that promote health.
