Removing Barriers to Wellness and Health

More about Removing Barriers to Wellness and Health

We have been increasing our health initiatives which continue to include raising awareness as it regards healthy living, decreasing the juvenile diabetes and obesity rates and remaining a champion and advocate as it regards hunger and the need for physical activity. We use sports as the “hook” to reach our targeted youth and community. Poor health and eating habits plague our community. To emphasize our focus we require our youth to complete community service youth led projects around health and wellness in order for them to grasp the subject matter and become informed about the issues that plague their community. As a result youth have become leaders in our community informing and educating residents on how to lead healthier lifestyles through sports programming and various activities.
