Skin cancer is the most prevalent cancer in America. It is also the most preventable. Our educational programs help children and teens learn about sun safety and skin cancer prevention. Created by teachers, our age-appropriate content is used in camps, schools, scouting organizations, and more.

The Sun Safety Homeschool Curriculum was originally developed to aid parents during the COVID-19 pandemic. It guides instructors with lesson plans, activities, and tool-kits.

Curriculum for Schools: Grades K-12

Research shows that children who get sunburns at an early age have an increased risk for developing melanoma and other skin cancers later in life. This program guides educators in teaching sun safety behaviors that may reduce students’ lifetime risks of developing skin cancers.
