Student Body
 

Student Body is a national FCCLA peer education program that helps young people learn to eat right, be fit, and make healthy choices. Its goals are to:

  • Help young people make informed, responsible decisions about their health
  • Provide youth opportunities to teach others and develop healthy lifestyles, as well as communication and leadership skills
Student Body Topic Areas:

To help members focus their projects, Student Body addresses three topic areas. Members may complete projects in one or several areas:
  • Eat Right
    Explore good nutrition, eating disorders, healthful snacks, supplements, and more.
  • Be Fit
    Take action related to lifelong exercise habits, obesity, sports training, and other topics.
  • Make Healthy Choices
    Choose a positive lifestyle by avoiding drugs, alcohol, and tobacco; managing stress; building self esteem; and practicing good character.
Partners: Get Connected CD-Rom:
