Wellness Targets

Partners






Creativity: Idealistic and unrestrained, yet translatable into focused initiatives

Effective Empathy: Operate with the compassion of a grassroots non-profit, but the theoretical efficiency of a multinational corporate for-profit; on rare occasions when they are mutually exclusive, the former takes precedent.

Excitement: Team members enjoy their work, which combines opportunities to use their existing expertise while also exploring new interests as they prepare to be leaders at local and global community levels

Collaboration and Partnership:: Work with communities, not against them; perform gap assessments first and focus on key areas of need, rather than on replacing effective existing programs



Healthy nutrition and physical activity are equally important, and should not be considered separately

Physical activity should be a normal part of daily life

Exercise and play should be fun, creative, and often aerobic

Consistent and safe hydration is critical

Balanced sleep and relaxation time must be supported

Lifestyle adjustments must not interfere with, if not support, academic development

Resources should be focused on prevention before treatment, and children before adults; personalized lifestyle interventions will always be considered before pharmacological, surgical or other medical interventions

Technological advances and multimedia interfaces should be embraced to educate and facilitate healthy lifestyles.
