Healthy Schools Campaign

Since its founding in 2002, the Healthy Schools Campaign (HSC) has emerged as a leading authority on creating healthy school environments and advocating for the well-being of children, education, and the environment. Initially focusing on environmental health and childhood asthma, HSC has expanded its efforts to address issues such as pesticide use, indoor air quality, and childhood obesity. By engaging parents, teachers, community leaders, and students, HSC has built a strong base of support in Illinois and beyond, while maintaining local relevance. The organization continues to advocate for changes that will positively impact children's health and readiness to succeed in school and life, with a focus on promoting fresh air, healthy food, and physical activity. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, HSC facilitates collaboration and empowers stakeholders to lead change at various levels.
