SUMMER YOUTH HEALTH PROGRAM 2009

Aban
participated in the DC Department of Employment Services, Summer
Youth Employment Program as a host agency. Youth engaged in
wellness actvities to prevent and manage chronic diseases and to
focus on healthy living, physical fitness, and nutrition awareness
demonstrations to promote better health habits. The youth created
their own newsletter called Teen Health Express and conducted
health presentations. Click on the links below to view the
newsletter and presentations. The youth did an awesome
job!!
A visit from a
National Public Radio correspondent made the summer more
exciting. Click on this link and use the arrow keys to scroll

Aban is
partnering with P.I. Advocates, International, Inc. to create a
youth health delegation for ages 15-18. The delegation will utilize
internet as a tool to find correct health reasources and to pass
the information forward through peer to pee presentations. Please
check back with us as more towards full launch of
