Before joining the Youth Health Leadership program, I never imagined I could speak in front of a crowd. Now, I’ve led workshops at my school and helped my friends make healthier choices. This experience changed how I see myself and what I’m capable of.
Sunshine Health Nutrition and
Education Access Initiative
The nutrition classes helped my family understand how to make better food choices without spending a lot. Plus, the tutoring support really made a difference in my daughter’s reading scores.
The training was extremely helpful. I now feel more confident screening my patients and having conversations about alcohol use during pregnancy. It gave me practical tools I can use right away in my practice.

MOSAIC MMERI Outreach
I appreciated that the team came to our neighborhood and listened to what we had to say. It wasn’t just about giving out brochures—it was a real conversation about how marijuana use affects our community.

MMERI Research and Technical Support
The training sessions helped our staff understand the research side of marijuana policy in a way that was easy to follow. We feel more prepared to support education efforts in our own programs now.

Paul Barrere Cemetery Restoration
Seeing the cemetery restored brought so much pride to our community. This place means a lot to our history, and it finally feels like it’s being honored and protected the way it should be.

HealthCheck: Screening & Referral Initiative
I hadn’t had my blood pressure checked in years. Thanks to the screening event, I found out I had hypertension and was able to start treatment. I’m so grateful they came to our town.
