HEALTH: MENTAL AND MEDICAL
STICK 2 YOU
Stick 2 You is a business that aims to promote teen wellness by selling stickers with encouraging messages on them for teens’ personal belongings. With the proceeds, I hosted a virtual teen wellness series with a few of my peers and I am currently working on planning my next teen wellness-inspired event! I created Stick 2 You because as a teen, I know that life can be very stressful and difficult during this stage in our lives and I wanted to create something that would hopefully alleviate some of this stress as well as help other teens.

UR BETTER BRAIN
We are a social media account based in Tucson, Arizona, dedicated to helping people of all generations achieve their youngest, most beautiful brain. During quarantine, people are spending less time and energy being mentally active which could cause their brain to go into a "slump". By completing short fun games every day, we hope to encourage everyone to improve and exercise their brain.

FIT 4 A CURE
The importance of health and fitness is something everyone should acknowledge. During this time of a global pandemic, we understand that it is not so easy to get up and get moving. Our organization helps with this by scheduling fitness/dance lessons which help people to get moving. The benefits of exercise range from brain health and memory, to skin health, better sleep, etc. This is why our organization is trying to help as many people as possible by joining the lessons to get 30 ish minutes of exercise.
Also, donations towards our organization go to something called Project Cure which helps to send medical supplies to 3rd world countries that need more medical help.
THE 4U PROJECT
The 4U Project is a non-profit, student-run organization committed to spreading love to individuals within hospitals and convalescent homes. Our main initiative is delivering homemade letters, which we hope will establish a sense of purpose and belonging amongst patients and senior residents. We believe nothing conveys more love than being told that a letter was sent “For You!”
