The SunWise School Program is an EPA environmental and health education program that aims to teach children and their caregivers how to protect themselves from overexposure to the sun. Through the use of classroom-based, school-based, and community-based components, SunWise seeks to develop sustained sun-safe behaviors in school children.
Common Ground for Conservation provides the technical support to the teachers interested in developing this program with students and the human resources necessary so that the program represents an enriching experience for all.
The SunWise School Program was pilot tested in 130 schools in 38 states during the 1999-2000 school year. National implementation began in the 2000-2001 school year.
