Healthy lifestyles program is designed to guide and influence healthy eating and being physically active to improve the health of youthand the health of the planet. This program addresses issues such as nutritional health, physical activity. And childhood obesity. It also provides hands on learning experiences and encourages students to make small changes to improve health. Key healthy lifestyles experiences and accomplishments are: 1. Healthy eating program: youth work one on one with professional chefs to create foods that are healthy while learning more about food preparation, healthy choices and kitchen safety. Youth participate in a rap session at the end of each event to discuss everyday challenges and choices they face in making the right food choices. Over 500 youth have participated in this program. 2. Talk about it text about it: hiv and runaway awareness and prevention programs in collaboration with the center for disease control, cdc, nelson mandela, bono, and 1-800-runaway. Our messages build awareness and educate youth for prevention delivered via twitter, psa's, and print ads. The messages reach millions. 3.

We engage youth in earth day activities through educational events and by planting rain gardens.
