Service Learning

Service Learning and civic engagement form an important part of the Health Promotion program. Most junior and senior level classes include projects designed to encourage students to become involved in the community and to learn through their involvement.

In the Health Promotion program students will use hands on service learning to improve your learning with opportunities that include:

• Community service
• Health fairs
• Improving health classes
• Promote Exercise
• Free screenings
• Blood drives
• Healthy Eating Workshop
• Volunteer
• Peace Corps
