This School Health Awareness Project doesn’t just get your teens learning about health issues, it gets them taking action based on their own interests and ideas! From vaping and excessive screen time to stress and sleep, they’ll choose a real problem at your school, research it, and design a solution that actually makes an impact.
 
Perfect way to hit NHES Standard 8: Students will demonstrate the ability to advocate for personal, family, and community health.
 
Here’s how it works:
Survey: Students take an anonymous online survey to rank the top health issues in your school. Answers are automatically collected and compiled to show the top results.
Group Up: They join small groups based on the topic they’re most fired up about.
Plan: A guided 5-phase worksheet + rubric walks them from brain dump to action plan: awareness campaigns, events, even policy change.
Share & Reflect: They present their ideas and reflect on the process.
Why teachers love it:
Real-world skills – teamwork, problem-solving, advocacy.
High student buy-in because they pick the issue.
Flexible timeline (works in a week or stretches longer.)
Perfect for health, advisory, SEL, or project-based learning.
