“Service Learning in Health and Wellness” is a course offered by CCAPP at The City College of NY, which guides students to learn through hands-on services that address health issues in Harlem.
We've worked on making healthy snacks available in school vending machines, improved school cafeteria’s recycling, convinced local bodegas to offer healthy lunches, hosted farmers’ market, and developed a Healthy Living Guide with cancer prevention tips.

Additional information for Physical Activity group.
Hey Everyone, I found a website that explains physical activity guidelines for Americans. It categorizes different physical activity risk level from lower to higher. The guidelines are for different age groups such as 6-17 and for 65 years and older. These guidlines are specifically targeted to increase the activity level and to minize the risk level as well. As for the older adults with chronic conditions, a good way to get aerobic activity is by simply walking. Let me know what you guys think and I hope this was helpful for your project research.
