Additionally, adopting a smoke-free and tobacco-free policy aligns with Ohio State's growing commitment to environmental sustainability.  Under the new policy, smoking and the use of tobacco products is prohibited on the Marion campus, including in buildings, athletic facilities, parking lots, and outdoors.

The Boys & Girls Club matches program volunteers with school age children and provides each a useful handbook to direct them through the mentoring process.
