Yavapai Community College student-athletes and the Yavapai College Police Department recently partnered with MATFORCE to present an awareness program on the dangers of vaping and e-cigarettes to Prescott area students in grades 7-12.
Community College student-athletes from all four Yavapai College athletic programs assisted in providing the training.
Yavapai College Athletic Director Brad Clifford said that “It has been our pleasure to partner with MATFORCE, YCPD, and the local schools in presenting this important information. Our student-athletes have enjoyed the experience. This is an important aspect of our role as collegiate student-athletes, to serve as role models to area youth.”
A total of 395 students grades 7-12 at Prescott High School and Mile High Middle School received the hour-long training. The training is intended to encourage young people to make safe decisions and healthy choices.
