Empowering Youth and Building Healthier Out-of-School Time Environments
Afterschool programs, faith-based organizations, community centers and recreation facilities can all empower kids to make healthier behavior changes by promoting healthy eating and physical activity.
More than 2.5 million youth and 800 organizations have joined our effort to inspire youth to live healthier lives. Building on that success, the Alliance has launched an exciting new effort working to create healthier out- of-school time environments. Starting with five pilot communities, the Alliance is working with local organizations to create healthier out-of-school time settings for youth across the country.
We also continue to support anyone interested in inspiring kids to live healthier lives through the empowerME4Life curriculum or holding a Youth-Hosted Forum in their community. Check out our toolkits and webinars, supporting youth leaders and adult allies in implementing these programs.
As a member of the Youth Advisory Board, Ashlyn traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas to celebrate her school’s accomplishments in making healthy changes. Ashlyn’s school in New Orleans was one of 275 schools recognized at the event. The most exciting part of her trip? Ashlyn got to meet President Bill Clinton! Learn how you can make healthy changes in your school.
