Our children’s programming provides engaging, age-appropriate health education that gives underserved youth the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to make healthy choices. Through our work with the Horizons program, we serve children from communities throughout Wilmington, including students from East Side Charter School, Shortlidge School, and many other schools across the city. Children ages 6–11 take part in the program through classroom sessions organized by age group, allowing us to tailor each lesson to the students we are working with. Most lessons are designed as 40-minute educational sessions, while select topics are offered as 2-hour hands-on experiences. Across the year, then, with these different styles, students engage with a carefully designed curriculum featuring more than 20 health and wellness topics that bring together interactive activities, real-world examples, and meaningful discussions. Below you can explore the topics and resources to learn more about the lessons we bring into the classroom.
