environmental changes and offset the cost of beginning programs that
better the health and overall well being of the community. Mini-Grants
are given to applicants in the school, worksite, and community setting
and can range between $100 and $1,000.
School Health Advisory Committee
We are available to provide training and become mediators while
assisting your advisory committee in completing and implementing
the School Health Index released by the Center for Disease Control.
The Committee should consist of diverse people within the school
setting as well as involving some parents, students, and perhaps even
community members.
Train the Trainer
We provide trainings upon request to teach willing participants how to
change and implement a policy independently of the STWP, as well as,
provide support and answers to any problems and question that might
arise.
