Participation Details

An Exciting Opportunity!

We're recruiting school staff members who are passionate about cultivating a culture of health & well-being within their schools and excited to engage students as leaders in this process.

We recognize that COVID-19 has created a significant increase in your day-to-day responsibilities and the last thing we want to do is create extra work to plates that are already overflowing.

However, we also recognize that COVID-19 has created some unique needs and opportunities related to health and well-being, and we hope UpLift can be a catalyst that enables your school to thrive this year.

Depending on what works best for your school, the student action grant could be taken on by classes like Citizenship 9, Healthy Living, Food Science or as an elementary class project. If you have student leadership groups that are meeting virtually this fall, the student action grant could be something they’re ready to take on.

If you're thinking of participating in UpLift this year, take some time to read the following sections before contacting Cameron Ure (YEC in Celtic/Nova families) at Cameron.ure@nshealth.ca, or Shali Manuel (YEC in Cobequid/Chignecto families) at Shali.manuel@nshealth.ca.
