About
Live Well, Take Action
As a proactive measure, this program utilizes interactive activities and culturally relevant examples and stories to engage East Asian youth in understanding how one’s wellness has a significant impact on self, relationships, and positive contributions to society.
Throughout 8 weekly workshops, student participants are
supported in developing the following skill sets:
-
Communication
-
Critical thinking
-
Wellness
-
Community building
By the end of the program, participants collaborate on a community group project that highlights a current issue impacting East Asian communities. Projects are presented at the Student Celebration and other venues in the community.
Student participants gain volunteer hours, a certificate of acknowledgement and a valuable learning experience that is unique to East Asian youth.
