“The most memorable part [of the program] was working with the community and figuring out their opinions on what they thought of the food that they sold in schools” -Lisveth Disla, student

“This really made me more confident because we went up to people in the community and we got to interact them and normally I wouldn’t really want to talk to people that I don’t know but then, doing this really gave me some confidence to, go be out there and talk to people.” – Andre Netty, student

“Now, I am more conscious of what we’re eating in schools and I’m more supportive of when we go to pick out different food for school that we should be eating in lunch.” – Daniyah Brown, student

Bronx Health REACH, a project of the Institute for Family Health, works within communities to make health equity a reality. Through health education and outreach efforts, policy and system change, and community partnerships, Bronx Health REACH works to affect change in policy and practice.

The Comprehensive Model School Project (CMSP 327) is a 6th to 12th grade New York City public school of over 700 students with the belief that all students can and will learn.

Bronx Health REACH provided this project to the students of CMSP 327 as winners of a countermarketing campaign competition done in collaboration with CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute’s Youth Food Educators Program. 

This project was made possible through support provided by Bronx Health REACH of the Institute for Family Health.
