Program areas at Breathe California of the Bay Area Golden Gate and Central Coast

Environmental Health: Breathe California provides education on both indoor and outdoor air pollution, sponsors clean air campaigns, including those for secondhand smoke protection (most recently in outdoor dining and multi-unit housing), and staffs a Secondhand Smoke Helpline to assist people who are impacted by this toxic pollution. As the coordinator for the Silicon Valley Clean Cities coalition, it convenes and coordinates activities for 259 stakeholders such as corporate fleet managers, school and elected officials, consumers, transportation programs, truck drivers, etc., education on electric vehicles and alternative fuels. Its "Ride and Drive" provides an opportunity to try out electric vehicles. Its Youth for Cool Earth program provided 14 education/training sessions to 174 students and teachers on climate change and environmental stewardship, with trainees reaching an additional 2,500 people through their projects. The Secondhand Smoke Helpline assisted 131 families, and 100% of 2,505 people trained in 15 presentations on the issue increased their knowledge of the subject. The agency worked in 11 jurisdictions to get 6 ordinances passed to protect against secondhand smoke! The agency reached a total of 7,186 individuals directly through environmental programs, even during the pandemic, and it reached 315,899 through social media (Twitter, You Tube, Instagram, and Facebook) mass media, including through the Breathe California TV show on local community television channels that is focused on the environment and has a viewership of 50,000, and our website.
Anti-tobacco programs: This agency was one of the vendors that provided the Tobacco Control Community Action Model (CAM) project services for Alameda County. The services included conducting presentations, training emerging community leaders, collecting surveys, presenting at public hearings, and working in multiple jurisdictions. In this period, which included a contactless pandemic period, the project was able to reach 613 individuals.
