presents Media-Smart Youth, an afterschool program that encourages healthy behaviors in children ages 11 to 13 by helping them navigate our complex media world and empowering them to make thoughtful decisions about nutrition and physical activity. Every day young people make critical choices that affect their health. What they see and hear in the media can have a profound effect on their decisions. The Media-Smart Youth: Eat, Think, and Be Active! curriculum is designed to teach young people the skills they need to understand and critically evaluate media messages. The lessons and activities address media analysis, nutrition, and physical activity and are reinforced by the hands-on experiences young people gain in creating health messages for their peers.
