Join us in our efforts to bring a school-based health center to Wake County by attending our Hands on School Health Rally. This FREE event is going to be a mixture of training and action with the opportunity for youth leaders to take away the tools to change their communities.

There will be activities, games and leadership training. Wake County Community Health Director Sue Lynn Ledford will be speaking at the event on the importance of youth health and building a healthy foundation for the future. There will also be a special spoken word performance by the Sacrificial Poets, North Carolina’s premier youth poetry organization.

Youth who attend can receive community service hours by bringing a form from their schools to the event to be signed by a YES! staff member.

By attending you will also be entered to win one of our amazing prizes, an Xbox 360 with Kinect or an iPod nano!

The rally is going to be an empowering event for young leaders in the community to not only develop advocacy and leadership skills, but to stand up and say that school health is an important issue!

Join us and invite your friends!
