As an offshoot of our Leadership Training Program, students discussed “giving back” and decided to raise awareness and “Walk for Diabetes” and to promote healthy choices.    Over 144 students and staff walked the 2-mile long block of the New Haven Job Corps Center.  Passing motorists “honked” in support and a bus driver even stopped to donate to the cause.  The students raised $415 to donate to the American Diabetes Association.    Continuing to raise awareness, the Food Service Manager  of the cafeteria will be highlighting “Diabetes Friendly” lunches to continue to raise awareness and educate about healthy choices.
