Children's Melanoma Prevention Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to reduce the incidences and impact of skin cancer primarily but not exclusively through school-based education in prevention and early detection awareness.


 * Service Opportunity:** Students would be trained to present classes in sun safety to primary-aged children in their classrooms, using our "felt board fun" curriculum and materials. In addition to training, student would receive supervision, support, and feedback throughout their service experience.

Special Considerations: High school seniors should possess an interest in working with young children in a classroom environment and feel strongly about the value of sun safety instruction as a prevention approach to skin cancer. Students working in the classroom should dress in a casual but neat and clean manner appropriate to a leadership role in the classroom. Students should be prepared to present themselves as credible role models to young children.
