HSY Corps4Health is a catalyst for team building recreational & STEM youth clubs/groups (mostly at high school or college-age levels) which bring together young people locally & globally to build lifelong friendships, advance community health and well-being through combining team building recreation with STEM4mHealth (mobile health) projects. After all, some of the best STEM projects/partnerships were dreamt up during recreational breaks!

RECREATION

Learn about interactive outdoor socially-distanced team-building recreational/social activities at your local parks that you can organize regularly with friends.

As all the examples of team-building recreational/social activities below can be socially-distanced (at least 6-8 ft apart), outdoors &/or online, independent local community health collaboratories (clubs/groups) can decide for themselves whether to make masks and vaccination optional unless required/recommended by local regulations. STEMCorps4mHealth clubs/groups featured on this site must be inclusive and accommodate those with health conditions/concerns needing social distancing, and must also always meet (or exceed) local requirements, no less. While outdoors, interactive socially distanced activities may even blend in-person and online participation (with on-site parental presence for youth <18) to increase inclusivity for those with health conditions/concerns that preclude close contact; this also applies to STEMCorps4mHealth clubs/groups convened as an extension of team building in global partnerships in STEM project clubs incorporating people-to-people interaction. Additional general & COVID-safety precautions are outlined under terms of participation in team-building recreational/social activities & project clubs/groups.

Model Recreational Events Timeline

As we emerge from the COVID pandemic, the above-featured focus on interactive outdoor team-building recreational/social activities is deliberately intended to accommodate most lingering uncertainties and concerns about COVID-safety. As a catalyst for replication of similar approaches, we’ll even share our template events timeline below and a copy of this web site to enable local clubs to model their own activities on the HSY approach! Let’s go! … anyone can do it!!

Model Events Timeline

The model recreational events timeline featured in this section illustrates the HSY model schedule & exemplary sequence of fun yet safe interactive recreational outdoor &/or online activities-based team building efforts that independent local clubs can organize.

What people say about us

Although the HSY Corps4Health initiative is new, we are sharing below the exciting feedback we are getting from prospective participants.

“Advanced placement enrollees in our independent study High School elective courses will love concurrent enrollment in independent study college-credit courses on service-/project-based learning in health screening & immunization projects.”

Teacher

“After 3 yrs of limited social activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I’m excited about this ‘well-rounded’ approach combining ‘COVID-safe’ team building recreation with service-/project-based STEM learning in health projects.”

High Schooler

Dhaka, Bangladesh

“Amazing that we could ‘ve done so much ‘COVID-safe’ recreation throughout the pandemic without worrying about ‘uncertainties of the pandemic’. We can’t wait to get beyond COVID with HSY’s STEM project-based learning while saving lives! “

We look forward to welcoming you to our team building recreational activities & STEM4mHealth project clubs (groups).

HSY Corps4Health team building recreational/social clubs (groups) are the gateway to participation in all things HSY Corps4Health .. effective teamwork yields better STEM4mHealth activities, which in turn, improve health outcomes!!
