COVID-19 • Employment • Health and Safety
Before the pandemic, I thought public health was just epidemiology, or the study of how and why diseases occur. It turns out that public health plays a bigger role in keeping us alive. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines public health as “the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized and informed choices of the society, organization, public and private communities, and individuals.”
Civic Engagement and Volunteering
On April 26, 2021, YE4C launched an art contest for young people focused on water and water careers with the prompt “Tell us about the different ways you rely on water on a daily basis, OR why you would consider a career in water.” Submissions could be:
Civic Engagement and Volunteering • COVID-19 • Disabilities • Education • Employment • Finances • Foster Care • Health and Safety • Healthy Relationships • Homelessness and Housing Instability • Juvenile Justice • Leadership and Advocacy • Mental Health and Wellbeing
It’s easy to want things to be better. But committing to making them better is an entirely different thing. We would like to take this moment to extend our sincere appreciation to the members of YE4C’s second editorial board. This group of young people committed their time, creativity, and skills to make YE4C better. Because of them, YE4C has better content and reaches more people.
