Knowledge to Action Showcase

SAYCW supports schools and communities in turning knowledge of youth health and well-being into positive action. One way SAYCW does this is by offering an opportunity for schools and communities to apply for our Healthy Schools and Communities Grant.

This page showcases health promoting initiatives funded by this grant program.
