mission statement
We the Uni Health Ambassadors, are a group of 15 determined girls bringing awareness to our community about all the different components that contribute to health and wellness. We want our community to acknowledge that health is not only limited to improving eating habits and physical exercise but also include: emotional, spiritual, intellectual, social, financial and environmental health. This project is needed in our community due to the growing epidemic of obesity, depression, suicide, and social isolation. 76% of students in LAUSD come from low-income families, making our surrounding community the impact area for this project. We approached this issue by hosting Throwback Thursdays, creating a wellness room, setting up our school’s first composting system, handing out reusable water bottles, empowering our community, and educating students on how they can make their own healthy recipes.
