Lend materials, offer gathering space, and provide educational, civic, and social programming; open to the community and publicly funded

Encourage participants to quit using tobacco by a set date or during a specific time period and give successful participants a chance to win financial rewards or other prizes; often called Quit & Win contests

Support food-producing and income-earning activities in urban environments (e.g., edible landscapes, front yard or rooftop gardens, window farming, hydroponics, livestock, etc.)

Teach students attitudes, skills, knowledge, and behavior needed to participate in and contribute to a democracy
