You can help lots of people when you use the knowledge you learn through your 4-H health project. Here are a few ideas.

• organize a community health fair
• teach younger kids about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, etc.
• lead an exercise group
• pick a monthly issue and put up posters about it
• work as a candy striper or other volunteer at the hospital
• visit the nursing home
• teach others about the dangers of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, and other risky behaviors
• host a stress management seminar
• volunteer in different ways with Relay for Life
• make or collect toys, books, caps, games, etc. for kids in the hospital
• collect pop tabs to raise money for Ronald McDonald House
• help raise money for hospitals, the American Heart Association, other health organizations
