Topic areas range from fitness to nutrition to public health and peer pressure. This program will complement what these students are already learning in their health, science and social studies classes. Students will discuss vital health issues together, along with GNG health correspondents, and learn about different health risks and attitudes in both the U.S. and the Middle East.
