Support initiatives that combine multiple components such as education, skills building, and contraceptive promotion to reduce pregnancy among youth

Support programs to provide students with a nutritious breakfast in the cafeteria, from grab and go carts in hallways, or in classrooms

Establish designated areas where students can garden with guidance, often with nutrition and food preparation lessons and opportunities for taste tasting and hands-on learning

Promote abstinence from sexual activity, generally only with mention of condoms and birth control to highlight failure rates

Make water readily available in various settings via regular placement of drinking fountains, water coolers, bottled water in vending machines, etc.
