MRHS Teen Summit Victory!

Eileen Jaquez has been a member of the "Incorruptible Us" team since the 2019/2020 school year.  Her first event was the Great American Smoke Out (GASO). Since then, Eileen has been very influential in having friends join her to help Stomp Out Smoking.  She served faithfully even during the Covid epidemic. In November of 2021, Eileen and Catherine presented to the junior classes at Manchester HS on the history of GASO and vaping. 

 

In June of 2021, Eileen and Catherine Acevedo joined YTAG (Youth Tobacco Action Group) and have been very instrumental in bringing awareness to teens all over Passaic County about the dangers of smoking (vaping specifically). Together, along with other like-minded teens, they create social media posts for the county's Instagram and Tik Tok page for YTAG. They have also presented to their peers at multiple schools and county events on the dangers of vaping. Eileen and Catherine also presented for Take Down Tobacco Day in March to the freshmen health classes at Manchester HS. Eileen has also recently sat on the panel for the American Heart Association and educated professionals on what YTAG is and the dangers around vaping in teens.
