Phase 6
Building A Movement
Expanding SWIM so it becomes embedded within the daily life and long-term direction of school communities. Communities will begin extending this work across additional sites, deepening partnerships, and building the structures necessary for lasting impact.
This phase supports leaders in ensuring that school-based wellness is not experienced as a temporary initiative, but as a movement with a commitment to ensuring the long-term wellbeing of young people.
Your Phase 6 Supports:
We will support thoughtful scaling while helping leaders maintain the integrity and shared vision initially established.
