Our program components are designed to help students and their families engage in healthy lifestyles through prevention activities, fitness education and recreation, increased academic performance in basic skills, and increased emotional well-being for students and their families. Students will also participate in exciting enrichment activities in a peer group and become actively involved in their community through leadership, service learning, and community service projects.
