After interviewing all of our 2009 summer youth interns, 90% of them said they have strongly encouraged their friends and families to eat more fruits and 100% have encouraged them to eat more vegetables. What's more, 100% have also strongly encouraged their friends and family to eat less fast food.

Though this may sound like a small step, we're convinced that a revolution can be ignited by just a few and that a spark can start a fire.   

As our program develops, we will continue to emphasis health in all that we do, and we look forward to ways in which our youth can serve as ambassadors for health in our schools, in our community, and even in our nation.
