How Our Health Choices are Affected by the World Around Us/Advocacy Curriculum

 

Part of our role in Job Corps is to help students become knowledgeable consumers of health services in the future and learn to take care of themselves. These activities will help students develop self-efficacy to be well-balanced, healthy, and knowledgeable adults both during their stay in Job Corps and after they graduate.
