What is an OUSD Site Wellness Champion (what did I sign up for)?

In support of OUSD Community Schools and the OUSD Wellness Policy, the Wellness Champion Program supports school site leadership and partnership around health and wellness. This program recruits school site leaders to become OUSD Site Wellness Champions and lead specific health and wellness systems and programs at a school, often in partnership with another Site Wellness Champion. Site Wellness Champions are paid stipends for their wellness work.
