Description
The goal of this project was to evaluate of the Youth Leadership & Advocacy Summit program. The Summit was a pilot project to engage youth to make a personal commitment to a healthy lifestyle and to empower them to become advocates for environmental policy change in their schools to support healthy lifestyles.
The evaluation team developed three questionnaires that were completed by teams at the Summit. The questionnaires were designed to assess participants’ experience of working together, future expectations, and overall satisfaction with the program. The Report and recommendations were provided to the Office of the Surgeon General.
