D.A.S.H. Daily Activity at School and Home
The YMCA-YWCA of Guelph and Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph (WDG) Public Health have teamed together to launch the Daily Activity in Schools and Home (D.A.S.H.) program. The goal is to increase activity levels, and decrease negative behaviour on the playground through active games and walking/biking initiatives/ clubs.
The DASH program trains peer leaders (students) and an appointed school volunteer (DASH Advisor) in leadership, communication, conflict resolution and group facilitation. For this component, the YMCA YWCA of Guelph provides a staff to work with the DASH Advisor for program start-up, training, and ongoing support through out the school year.
The YMCA and Public Health are pleased to work together in this enriched program. If you would like more information for your school please contact the Guelph YMCA YWCA 519 824-5150 ext. 232 or your school’s Public Health Nurse to set-up a meeting.
