Why Engage Communities

Support to improve the surrounding environment
for schools (i.e. safe routes to schools, parks and
green spaces, farmer’s markets)
Engage subject matter experts (i.e. nutrition,
health services, physical activity)
Link to resources
Collaborate on objectives that cross sectors (i.e.
joint-use agreements for physical activity and
community kitchens, school-based health clinics)
Reach target youth and family populations
What can you do to get started?
Is your school leadership ready?
Is your school ready?

Adolescent Health Objectives Goal: Improve the healthy development, health, safety, and
well-being of adolescents and young adults
Schools (rationale for inclusion):
Academic success and achievement are strong predictors of overall
adult health outcomes. Proficient academic skills are associated with
lower rates of risky behaviors and higher rates of healthy behaviors.
High school graduation leads to lower rates of health problems and
risk for incarceration, as well as enhanced financial stability during
adulthood.
The school social environment affects students' attendance, academic
achievement, and behavior. A safe and healthy school environment
promotes student engagement and protects against risky behaviors
and dropping out.
