Mission Statement
Healthy Schools Campaign advocates for policies and practices that allow all students, teachers and staff to learn and work in a healthy school environment. Healthy Schools Campaign envisions a society in which:
- Every student, faculty and staff member, regardless of race or socioeconomic background, has equal access to a healthy school environment.
- Schools serve as leaders making the critical connection between learning and health.
- Students have fewer risks of disease, lead healthier adult lives, act as stewards of the environment and achieve their highest potential.
Description
Healthy Schools Campaign is the leading voice for people who care about our children, education, and our environment.
We teach and empower others to advocate for children to have fresh air, healthy food and physical activity to shape their lifelong learning and health.
As an independent, not-for-profit organization, we help facilitate collaboration between parents, teachers, administrators and policy makers. Our goal is to help prepare this diverse group of stakeholders to lead change at the school, district, state and national levels.
