Health & Wellness

Young people are constantly faced with health and behavior choices. Making heathy decisions starts with good judgment, something Clubs teach every day. Policies must support youth in good decision making and embracing healthy lifestyles focusing on wellness as well as social and emotional development, including physical and mental health, healthy eating, active living, trauma-informed care and substance abuse prevention.

Every young person should be equipped to make healthy decisions resulting in positive social, emotional, and physical well-being.

Nationally, 33% of high school students report currently using alcohol and 22% using marijuana in the past 30 days.

In Ohio, suicide is the second leading cause of death for teenagers.

Our programs help youth engage in positive behaviors that nurture their well-being. Club members learn how to manage stress, demonstrate good teamwork, eat well, and keep physically fit.
