New! View the CEH Day Community Event Guidebook to help you plan any of these activities.

1. Organize a day of action for children in a local school or child care program. Ideas for parents and/or teachers include: 

• Add a children’s health issue to your school board meeting or PTA meeting.
• Start or improve a recycling program at your child’s school.
• Send materials home with students on ways families can protect themselves.

2. Encourage the development of a child health protective standard in your community (no idling zone, green cleaning in child care centers, etc.)

3. Perform a community project with a child/youth to support wellness in his/her community (tree planting, stream clean-up, community garden, etc.)

4. Arrange a meeting focused on children's environmental health with a school board, city/county council, or your state legislators.

5. Host an educational forum, workshop, or webinar on a children's environmental health topic. 

6. Organize a local community rallying event or visual exhibit.
