Fitness Forward is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to Lead Youth to Live Well. Integrating scientifically grounded evidence, web-based technologies, and targeted social marketing, we aim to reverse the dangerous rise in childhood obesity, diabetes, and mental illness. We envision a day when all children, regardless of background or circumstance, will grow up with the knowledge, motivation, and tools to live healthier, happier lives. Currently, D2F reaches thousands of children in MA, NC, ND, PA, OH and AL public schools. Evaluations in NC and MA demonstrated that children who participated in D2F
- became more physically active
- ate more fruits and vegetable
- had less overall screen-time
- drank less sugary beverages
- were less likely to get too little sleep
- and were more confident in knowing how to live a healthy lifestyle
Notably, most kids report Mom or Dad is their hero, and, when parents and other role models track their own point, and verify their kids, everyone lives healthier. Now, FF is partnering with other organizations to create comprehensive ‘School Playbook’ programming to foster major impact in the well-being of children.
