Who We Are

Truth Initiative is the nation’s largest nonprofit public health organization dedicated to preventing youth and young adult nicotine addiction and empowering quitting for all. Our field-leading approach to behavior change and policy change creates transformative impact through national campaigns, proven-effective quitting programs, and in-school curriculums that help prevent and break the cycle of nicotine addiction at the individual level, and rigorous research and policy leadership that helps advance impactful policies at the population level.

Our mission

At Truth Initiative, we are committed to a future free from lifelong addiction, fostering healthier lives and a more resilient nation. Our mission is clear: prevent youth and young adult nicotine addiction and empower quitting for all.

Curriculums to address vaping, cannabis use, and prescription drug misuse

Truth Initiative provides a national youth vaping prevention curriculum and a prescription drug safety curriculum, both made available to schools by EVERFI® from Blackbaud®, the leader in social impact education.

Our free digital courses guide students through the dangers associated with vaping nicotine, cannabis use, and prescription drug misuse. Through real-world scenarios delivered in an authentic peer-to-peer youth voice, students are empowered to make healthy and informed choices and help others do the same.
