Together, we have created an impact. In 2023, our vaping prevention program, CATCH My Breath, extended its reach to help youth live vape-free. This would not have been possible without the passion of CATCH Global Foundation’s team - comprised of public health, education, and research professionals - alongside the dedicated individuals they have trained within our diverse CATCH My Breath community. As we continue into 2024, let's celebrate our collective success and look forward to continued growth and impact.

Latest available data from the National Center for Education Statistics indicates that 10.3% of K-12 public school students in the U.S. are English language learners with Spanish being the most prevalent home language. Dual language immersion, after-school, and out-of-school time programs are effective collaboratives in facilitating biliteracy. Vaping has been a severe public health issue impacting students of all backgrounds and we are excited to announce the availability of CATCH My Breath in Spanish, particularly our core curriculum lessons for grades 5-12. Our curriculum will help enhance health education in diverse educational settings across the U.S. and in native Spanish-speaking countries. 

"I am excited about developing ways to incorporate peer leadership into CATCH My Breath implementation utilizing our existing Youth Advisory Council.”
