The Virginia Foundation for Healthy Youth (VFHY) operates in the public health sector with a focus on preventing tobacco and nicotine use, substance use, and childhood obesity among Virginia’s youth. It delivers prevention programs in public schools, after-school settings, community centers, and daycares, reaching tens of thousands of children annually, and complements these efforts with large-scale prevention messaging that engages hundreds of thousands of youth each year. The organization also supports a research program that investigates effective methods for reducing tobacco use and has funded multiple university projects across Virginia since 2002. Based in Richmond, Virginia, VFHY was established in 1999 by the Virginia General Assembly and collaborates with state stakeholders to address youth health risks through education, programs, and targeted grants. A recent development noted in local coverage highlights VFHY’s role in enabling Healthy Communities Action Teams, reflecting ongoing activity to expand prevention initiatives across communities.
