Healthy South Texas Youth Ambassadors
The 2018 Healthy South Texas Youth Ambassadors completed their summer trainings on topics such as the Learn, Grow, Eat, and GO curriculum, The Walk Across Texas program, Zika, Fuel Up to Play 60, and much more. These trainings are meant to prepare the youth ambassadors for the new school year as they will be involved in multiple program and events. The program aims to develop healthy lifestyle advocates to serve as a source of outreach and education out in the community.
Some also participated in the first ever Healthy South Texas Youth Summit which took place in late July in Corpus Christi, TX. The youth summit was an overnight trip where youth ambassadors got to meet and interact with other youth ambassadors from all over Texas. Ambassadors learned about different health and nutrition issues along with topics on leadership and cooking demonstrations.
