National Melanoma Awareness Project Home
Get Involved: Middle Schools
How it works:
Just four easy steps to get your junior high or high school involved:
  1. Contact a member of the National Melanoma Awareness Project: spotaspot@gmail.com
  2. A local chapter of the NMAP will contact you and get permission from your Principals.
  3. Set up an instruction date
  4. 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.

Ready to get started?

Contact the NMAP and we will get the ball rolling. In the meantime, feel free to view the curriculum (on the top right of the page).
