Healthy Kids Community Activation Center

When kids are healthy, they are on the path to a lifetime of improved health.

Help kids in your community increase their physical activity and eat more healthful foods.
Everyday, ordinary people are accomplishing extraordinary things by getting involved in the community. We all have special talents. Things we can do to help. Use your talents to motivate kids to move more and eat better. Sometimes what is really needed is one person to get things started and organized. Soon, kids in a class, neighborhood or community are getting fit together.

You make the call about where to focus. Share your skills. Share your passion. Give. Advocate. Volunteer.
