The Healthy Schools Program gives you the tools and resources you need to take action in making your school a healthier place for students to learn and staff to work. 

Some of our resources and tools include:

  • The Healthy Schools Program Framework – a set of best practice guidelines developed by a national panel of experts that serves as your roadmap to creating a healthier school environment.
  • The Healthy Schools Builder® – an easy online tool that helps schools identify their status as a healthy school and develop customized action plans to make positive and healthy changes.
  • The Healthy Schools Resource Database – a searchable online database that includes more than 700 quality resources and funding opportunities to help you make healthy changes at school. Healthy Schools Program members have free access to the database where they can search for the resources best suited to their unique needs.
  • Webinars – short for web-based seminar, these are interactive online presentations presented by content experts on a wealth of school health topics.
  • The Healthy Schools Product Navigator® and Calculator – free online tools that help schools determine what products meet the Alliance School Beverage and Competitive Foods Guidelines.

Featured Resource: Physical Activity Breaks

The Alliance for a Healthier Generation encourages schools to provide students with multiple opportunities for physical activity throughout the day. Research shows that the greatest barrier against providing physical activity in the classroom is that teachers lack the confidence to lead these activities.

The Healthy Schools Program Resource Database has solutions to that problem. The first recommended resource, North Carolina Energizers, provides a tip sheet on how to use physical activity without totally disrupting the instructional day.  More>>
