To facilitate the efforts of the school health team, the community advisory committee, or selected advisors, can help determine local needs and resources, disseminate information about health and healthy nutrition, build support across the community, encourage community involvement, help to obtain resources and funding for health and nutrition interventions, and reinforce learning experiences provided in school. The committee should include men and women with a diversity of skills who are influential in the community or district, interested in health promotion and healthy nutrition, able to mobilize support and connections, and represent the community's geographical areas as well as economic, social, ethnic and religious makeup.
