The Mendez Foundation is a Tampa-based organization that offers evidence-based programs and resources to promote healthy choices and prevent substance abuse, violence, and bullying among students. Their programs, such as Too Good for Drugs and A Peaceable Place, provide interactive and engaging lessons to develop self-efficacy and interpersonal skills in students, while also addressing topics like digital citizenship and stress management.
In addition to their educational programs, the Mendez Foundation also offers nutrition education through their Seeds of Nutrition curriculum, which teaches students about the importance of nutrients, hydration, exercise, and rest in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The foundation aims to reach not only students but also their families and caregivers, providing resources in both English and Spanish to promote skill development and reinforce positive behaviors outside of the classroom.
