United Health HEROES combat child obesity
The UnitedHealth HEROES program is a service-learning, health literacy initiative developed by UnitedHealth Group and Youth Service America.
The program awards grants of up to $1,000 to help young people create and implement local, hands-on programs to fight childhood obesity. Each grant engages participating youth in service-learning, an effective teaching and learning strategy that supports student learning, academic achievement and workplace readiness.
The grants encourage semester-long projects that launch on Martin Luther King Day of Service in January and culminate on Global Youth Service Day, April 15-17, 2011.
Schools, service-learning coordinators, nonprofits, and students in the health professions are eligible to apply.
The application will be available August 2nd here.
Deadline: October 22, 2010
