One goal for the HealthCorps team is making nutrition and food a passion for teens. Margarita Moran, our Program Coordinator in Oxnard, CA, has seen how that passion results in advocacy and positive health behaviors – particularly with her student, Lena, who joins her on this episode of The Healthy Edit.
Margarita and Lena reflect on food at home and in schools and the changes they are seeing through the HealthCorps program. They also discuss their entry for last year’s Project Health Showcase: Fresh Fridays, where Lena and her team work with local farmers to introduce new fruits and vegetables to their peers. Margarita and Lena are just one of the many near-peer mentorships that HealthCorps supports to champion teens to be the healthy change they want to see.
Special thank you to Oxnard Union High School District for supporting Teens Make Health Happen.
