Newton County YAT Prepares for Kick the Habit 2026

The day before any big event is where the real work happens — and the Newton County Youth Action Team showed up ready on April 16, 2026.

YAT members and adult partners gathered at Newton College and Career Academy for 3.5 hours of setup ahead of their annual Kick the Habit prevention event. The group worked together on event decor and table setup, with the leadership team building in time for final adjustments to make sure everything was in place for the next day.

Twenty-eight participants — YAT members and adult partners combined — put in the work to make Kick the Habit 2026 possible. That kind of behind-the-scenes effort is part of what makes the YAT's programming so impactful when event day arrives.
