Ohio 4-H Healthy Living is expanding the 4-H Health Heroes program by offering trainings at four locations across the state in 2018/19.
The 4-H Health Heroes program is looking for teens in grades 7-12 who are interested in learning about healthy eating, leading an active lifestyle, and other health-related topics. The program provides youth with the opportunity to represent 4-H and promote healthy living in their communities. Additionally, the Health Heroes help accomplish the goals of the National 4-H Healthy Living Mission Mandate, which encourages youth and families to gain optimal physical, social, and emotional well-being.
Trained Health Heroes in grades 9-12 will have the opportunity to take on additional responsibilities by serving at the state-level. More information will be given at the trainings.
The trainings will be offered on the following dates:
