Just four easy steps to get your junior
high or high school involved:
- Contact a member of the National Melanoma Awareness Project: spotaspot@gmail.com
- A local chapter of the NMAP will contact you and get permission from your Principals.
- Set up an instruction date
- We will teach your students about skin cancer prevention!!!
Medical students will run this whole project for you. They will be in
charge of setting up the instruction dates and making sure that
the heads of he school are supportive of the project. Once the
Principals and teachers agree to have medical students come teach about
skin cancer in their classrooms, trained medical students will come
and teach the interactive 50-minute curriculum.
After the teaching is completed, students are invited to participate
in the Melanoma Awareness Project Poster contest, where artists of
winning posters are awarded prizes and the children’s posters, with
their permission, are replicated and posted throughout the community.
This gives the youth a sense of ownership in their role of increasing
melanoma awareness.
