“CASTLES has been nothing but a positive experience for me. I’ve learned how to address big issues, issues that we see in national headlines, like the obesity epidemic, and how we can solve that at the community level.”
Colleen Cummings, 3rd year CASTLES student mentor.
CASTLES and College Students
Federal Work Study (FWS) and non-FWS students from Vanderbilt University, Belmont University, and Tennessee State University deliver CASTLES programming. Nutrition and physical education training underpin and inform students’ work with children and families. Students receive mentorship from public health professionals, and may choose to pursue independent research and service.
