Youth Program


The H2 Youth Program has 3 channels in which to convey the importance of healthy eating and regular physical activity:
  1. Youth Council - The members will produce youth media events/programs and serve as “messengers” to their peers. All members will undergo training in nutrition education, physical activity, public speaking, and media literacy. The goal is to increase opportunities for youth to learn leadership skills, gain hours of volunteer experience, and learn healthy habits themselves.
  2. H2 Camp Support - The H2 Program will also be available to provide diabetes, nutrition, and physical activity education at existing camps in metropolitan Atlanta. The goal is to provide our expertise and technical assistance to organization who work directly with youth.
  3. Youth Media Programs - The Youth Council will produce and stage quarterly TV and Radio programs geared towards middle school youth. The goal is to reach a larger number of youth beyond Youth Council presentations.
