UpLift was a School-Community-University partnership that served as a catalyst to increase student leadership and engagement in HPS efforts across Nova Scotia. From 2019-2024, all schools in CCRCE received a one-time $5000 grant to support students of all ages in coming up with ideas to make their schools healthier and bringing those ideas to life!
The legacy of UpLift continues through the work of our HPS Team. We have a Youth Engagement Coordinator, Shali, who is available to work directly with students on school health initiatives. We also offer annual HPS Youth grants to support student-driven positive change!
For more information, please reach out to Shali at shali.manuel@nshealth.ca
Over five years, UpLift supported a diverse range of student-led projects at 65 schools in CCRCE, including things such as salad bars, playground upgrades, and student lounges!

UpLift also created a provincial online Project Catalogue that outlines projects completed across Nova Scotia. This catalogue shares helpful information such as general costs, potential funding sources, and key partners and resources to support project success!
