The Campaign received a grant in 2009 to develop and environmental health and justice program for teens in South Boston that aims to partner with youth to understand and explore the health impacts of their built environment and strategies to reduce health disparities. The project is in partnership with the South Boston Community Health Center's efforts to improve asthma education and outreach in the community.
