This is the story of UpLift’s impact at West Northfield Elementary School. The UpLift Partnership is a School-Community-University partnership supporting the health and learning of school-aged children and youth using a Health Promoting Schools (HPS) approach.
UpLift empowers children and youth to take the lead in creating school communities that are healthy, vibrant, caring and connected. We see meaningful youth engagement as a key ingredient of the provincial HPS approach. Through the work of Youth Engagement Coordinators (YECs) and HPS leads in schools, UpLift is demonstrating the impact of youth engagement in participating schools.
A component of UpLift's youth engagement is to meet with schools to brainstorm and implement HPS UpLift Student Action Grant projects. These are one-time $5,000 grants that go toward boosting HPS within the school. The YECs and HPS Leads support students in the grant process by helping with project planning, development, implementation and celebration.
The magic of the grants is the way that students are leading the process, along with the skills that they are building throughout the journey such as interpersonal skills, planning skills, increased confidence and pride.
