We will recruit volunteers in the community. I will design an motivational interview for the teens which volunteers will learn how to conduct to teens who participate in the program. We will get feedback on eating habits of 30 + teens and design a workshop to fit the needs of the teen community. Workshops will be one hour in length and conducted via zoom.
