Generation With Promise
Schools with grades 6-8 from a select group of the Governor's eight Cities of Promise (Detroit, Highland Park, Hamtramck, Pontiac, Benton Harbor, Flint, Saginaw, Muskegon Heights) are participating in this three-year project that will empower and support student action teams (SATs), under the guidance of community mentor teams (CMTs).

As members of the Coordinated School Health Team (CSHT), the students will assess their school environment using the Healthy School Action Tool and develop a plan to make changes in the school environment so that all students have opportunities to eat healthy, be physically active and be tobacco-free. They will lead by example through positive health behaviors and take a leadership role to create excitement and success among student action teams at other schools. They will also generate information that can be used to create a replicable model to extend to other Michigan schools in communities with racial and ethnic disparities.
