Wholistic Health Alliance announces relaunch of Youth Brigade initiative 

Wholistic Health Alliance (WHA) has relaunched its Youth Brigade (YB) initiative and activities in a brand new format, with an interactive healthy cooking workshop on August 11th. The workshop was geared towards teens between the ages of 13-19 and was led by Ilina Shah, a WHA YB alum herself.

WHA Founder Dr. Pratibha Shah, envisioned and launched Youth Brigade in 2017 with the vision to engage and educate youth in topics around health. The goal was to not only inform the Youth but also empower them in matters of health. Shah says ‘I believe healthy habits should be inculcated young. A healthy childhood and youth ensures a healthier and wholesome adult. The Youth Brigade platform will provide an opportunity for our Youth to meet periodically, in an environment that fosters conversations around health, in their own ‘lingo’ within their own ‘tribe’, inspire and support one another, hopefully entrenching them soundly onto a healthier life  through education, interaction and role modelling. Participating and contributing in non-profit activities allows them to give back to their community as well. So this initiative is a win-win for the Youth on many fronts.’

The newly appointed Youth Brigade President, Anish Sundaram, a senior in Acton High School, will be engaging more youths remotely and virtually with this relaunch effort. Physical attendance is highly encouraged in all YB events. Keeping in mind the busy schedule of our teens, which can become a barrier for in person attendance, Anish plans on using technology creatively to increase outreach and interaction. The cooking workshop was recorded and will be shared with YB members via the WHA YouTube channel, on request. Participants will be encouraged to watch, comment and share feedback through a set format. WHA gives community hour certificates to participating youth.
