Action for Healthy Kids

Action for Healthy Kids is the only nonprofit organization formed specifically to address the epidemic of overweight, undernourished and sedentary youth by focusing on changes at school. Action for Healthy Kids state teams work in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to improve children’s nutrition and increase physical activity, which will in turn improve their readiness to learn. This website contains updates on the state teams’ respective efforts, tools and resources to assist in local wellness policy development, and offers downloadable, pdf versions of Action for Healthy Kids special reports.
