What Past Health Ambassadors have said about PHS:
-
"This was very inspiring to me personally to make improvements in my own habits. There were many hands on activities that I believe may have created some strong visual images for the kids (amount of sugar in a soda, the large blobs of fat in various foods, the models of fat vs. muscle). I think these might stay with the kids and motivate them to make better choices."
-
"The most positive part of the experience is interacting with the kids and knowing that some of them really care about getting healthier."
-
"I loved how the program worked to empower the kids to have the knowledge to be able to make their own well informed decisions about their health. It was a really fun experience and it was a pleasure working with the kids!"
-
"I very much enjoy the fact that the Health Ambassadors have the opportunity to get involved in a broad range of activities outside of the classroom. I think PHS is a very comprehensive program."
-
"The kids’ enthusiasm and willingness to actively participate in all the discussions was great."
-
"I really enjoyed working with the kids and getting them excited about healthy lifestyles."
-
"The props helped keep the kids interest and were very helpful teaching the concepts."
-
"My involvement with Project Healthy Schools has been such a rewarding experience. I have seen the children excited and eager to learn about how they can lead healthier lifestyles. Thanks to PHS, I am now considering going into Public Health, and I am interested to take more Public Health classes!"
-
"I loved being a PHS Ambassador and if I wasn't a senior in undergrad, I'd do it again!"
