Youth Health Advocates

The Youth Health Advocates (YHA) club is a student-led initiative focused on promoting wellness, leadership, and healthy lifestyles across our school and community. Funded by The Rapides Foundation, our advocates work together to raise awareness about healthy eating, active living, and prevention strategies for vaping and substance use. Through campus campaigns and community outreach, YHA empowers the next generation of leaders to champion healthier environments.
