"Using our Voices" Mental Health Run- Connetquot

The student-led "Using Our Voices" Mental Health Run Series, initiated by Center Moriches and North Babylon student leaders, promotes mental health and wellness through student-led events. This series fosters genuine inclusivity and student engagement, expanding to include four school districts. Last year, it raised significant funds, benefiting Long Island students by providing counseling opportunities and empowering leadership and collaboration. Students plan and execute every aspect of the event, which emphasizes reducing stress and anxiety through movement and promotes civic engagement. Supporting this initiative means contributing to mental health organizations, amplifying positive impact and student empowerment across Long Island.
