The Role of Technology in Wellbeing

This year, which is the third annual project, with the focus on how technology is being used to promote social and emotional health in youth, we invited high school students across Fremont schools to participate. The project runs from January 11 through the end of March.

The selected Youth Wellness Ambassadors are learning how technology is transforming youth health and wellbeing, they get to participate in a small cohort or their peers and help to evaluate an emerging wellness and productivity app (developed by a high school student in Fremont), build knowledge and awareness about youth mental health, develop friendships and leadership skills, and have the opportunity to present what they have learned to the Fremont community.
