TITLE: Making Healthy Choices as Teenagers
MAJOR PROGRAM: 2066 – Food Preservation
OUTCOME TYPE: Long-Term
On September 30, 2016, I was invited to present to the Girl Power Conference at Elizabethtown Community & Technical College. The target audience was 40 middle school girls in the group. I talked on hygiene and healthy eating in how they are all tied together. The young ladies had a lot to say about how and what they were eating and what they wanted to do different.
By the end od the program, the girls recognized the relationship of hygiene and health, discussed eating habits and described one or more personal goals.
On October 15, while working at the Give a Day for Hunger event, one of the young ladies that participated in the Girl Power Conference came up to me and told me “thank you for the information on eating healthy and hygiene, I am practicing them every fay and I feel better, since I have been doing things different.” That is when I knew that this “Healthy Choices for Everybody” is going to make difference in people lives. Just have to keep getting the information out there.
