The Problem
The goal of this program is to give children the tools to make healthier lifestyle decisions. Our hope is to decrease the rate of childhood obesity.
Plan of Action
High school volunteers were recruited and selected to mentor elementary school students. After completing a week-long training, high school volunteers started working with elementary school students in an after-school program to teach them about topics within the issue of childhood obesity. Lessons are a mix of discussion and hands-on activities. Following each topic, students take part in various service-learning projects, ranging from intercom announcements to creating posters and murals.
