Mission

 

Texas Healthy Habits is a service organization focused on raising awareness concerning healthy living practices for children in the local Austin community. Texas Healthy Habits puts particular emphasis on good hygiene techniques and nutrition. The club reaches out to local elementary schools and visits several times during the semester to give an interactive presentation to the kids which is split into two parts: the public health and dental portions that are designed for specific age groups.

Many children develop habits at an early age that carry onto adulthood which can be hard to break later on as they are so accustomed to their habits. These could be things such as always washing your hands, brushing your teeth twice a day, drinking enough water, just small everyday things that if they learned more about or take an interest in early they can develop good living habits that they will keep as they grow older.
