Many states require local School Wellness Councils or Health Advisory councils that are usually made up school staff, students, parents and community members and which implement the School Wellness Policy.
The Alliance's Healthy Schools Program has resources to help you get started. The School Wellness Council Toolkit provides information and tips and templates to create a successful wellness council.
To find out if your school or district has a School Wellness Council or Health Advisory Council, contact the principal, district food service director or other administrator. They should be able to tell you if there is a council, who is in charge, and how you can get involved.
Once you find your local School Wellness Council, offer to help in any way you can. If you see good things being done, be sure to offer praise. If you have a good relationship with the council, they’ll be more likely to listen to your suggestions for change.
