2019-2020 SPARC Leadership Program

The 2019-2020 SPARC Leadership Program has concluded! The year-long program focused on building a vibrant movement in tobacco control and health advocacy in Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA & NH/PI) communities.

Over the year, 27 fellows from across California came together to hold critical discussions about health-related tobacco issues facing AA & NH/PIs and participate in leadership building activities. On May 6 and 7 we came together online to celebrate our collective and personal successes, closing out this year’s cohort.
