Empowering Kids: Taking Control of Their Future
Kids, especially those who are disadvantaged, often feel they lack control over their lives. A World Fit For Kids! empowers them to realize they have the ability to control their own bodies, creating a ripple effect that extends outward.
When kids feel good about themselves, they begin to feel good about others, too. Taking charge of their health leads to taking charge of their education, which opens up more opportunities to excel and take control in other areas of life.
Expanded Learning Programs
Our K-12 programs emphasize healthy behaviors and skill-building through challenging, engaging, and exciting learning experiences.
Activities are developmentally appropriate and align with students’ interests, ensuring they remain invested and enthusiastic.
Through a blend of physical activity, academic support, and a variety of enrichment activities, we foster competence, commitment, and confidence in our students.
These elements lead to improved school performance, higher high school graduation rates, and better preparation for college and the workplace.
Teen Fit For Success
Teen Fit For Success is a comprehensive program that integrates physical activity leadership training, work readiness training, and community service to develop crucial life skills.
These skills include effective study and work habits, conflict resolution, communication skills, and first aid/CPR.
Students who complete this training become positive role models for their peers and younger students.
They can be placed in jobs or internships, often becoming coaches in WFIT or other afterschool programs, or finding employment at local businesses.
Nourishing Matters
Nourishing Matters focuses on food as a “key regulator,” along with exercise, sleep, and relationships, that affects physical energy, focus, and emotional well-being.
Students learn about serving sizes, food labels, vitamins and minerals, and the importance of fruits and vegetables. They gain hands-on experience preparing healthy foods, laying the foundation for a lifetime of healthy eating choices.
By teaching kids the importance of nutrition and physical activity, we help them develop habits that support their overall well-being. Our programs encourage students to take control of their health, leading to better academic performance and greater opportunities in life.
