Our ongoing partnership with the St. John's After-School Program in South Tucson creates a meaningful, mutually rewarding experience for both MEZCOPH students and the students they serve. Each Wednesday afternoon, elementary-aged children interact in wellness lessons, including a healthy snack and physical activity led my MEZCOPH students. Every session blends nutrition, physical activity and social emotional learning through creative and art-based experiences. Healthy snacks are prepared by MEZCOPH students in front of the students and then they dive into hands-on wellness games and projects. Together, we build a supportive learning environment that nurtures children's well-being and empowers the next generation of public health leaders through experiential, community driven education.
