Program 01
Sun-Smart
Workshops.
A free, interactive 30-minute session led by Teen Skin Lab volunteers. No cost, no sales pitch — just the facts, a game, and a plan.
- Who it's forMiddle and high school classes, summer camps, youth sports teams, swim clubs, scout troops, and after-school programs.
- What's coveredHow UV damages skin, how to read a sunscreen label, how much to use, and the ABCDE warning signs.
- How it worksA short talk, a live "how much sunscreen?" demo, and a Myth Lab flip-card game. Everyone leaves with a handout and a QR code to this site.
- What we ask30 minutes, a space to present, and permission for a short anonymous survey so we can measure what works.
Program 02
Sun-Safe
Stations.
Free sunscreen dispensers placed where teens actually spend time in the sun — school athletic fields, community pools, and parks. Our club keeps them stocked.
