S1| Introduction to YEAH! and Community Challenges Brainstorm

Students in classroom

This session is designed to get youth thinking about what their community could be, based on its assets and areas for improvement. Studies have shown that youth have a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm about where they live. The activities in this section can help youth connect advocacy lessons with their environments.

In this session, you will introduce the YEAH! project and have the YEAH! club members discuss health challenges in their community.
