What does YHW mean in YOUTH

Youth Heart Watch (YHW) is a national initiative that works to create youth-focused education and awareness campaigns focused on fighting the leading causes of death among youth. The organization also works to help young people make healthy lifestyle choices and become advocates for advocating healthier living amongst their peers. YHW provides youth with the knowledge, resources, and skills necessary to become an effective leader in their own communities.

YHW focuses on preventative health topics including physical activity, nutrition, stress management, mental health, tobacco use prevention and cessation, injury prevention and substance abuse prevention.

YHW provides tools such as educational materials, online information and videos, webcasts, podcasts, seminars/workshops and community engagement programs that are designed to provide kids with the information they need to make healthy decisions. Additionally, it organizes activities such as field trips or after-school programs at schools to get kids in the community involved in health initiatives.

There are several ways one can get involved with YHW such as joining our team either in an administrative role or aiding us directly through volunteering opportunities. We also invite supporters through financial donations which help preserve resources for our programs — whether you donate once off or monthly throughout the year.
