A World Fit For Kids! (WFIT) is a vibrant non-profit organization that provides kids with before, during and after school time experiences that include healthy behaviors, academic and enrichment activities that engage and inspire learning and achievement beyond the school day.  Additionally, we provide personal empowerment and healthy behaviors (physical activity leadership/nutrition/Mentors in Motion) training for teens, teachers, parents, and youth workers.
