The board members and core team develop programs that directly address the root of the program – poor eating habits, lack of access to fresh, healthy foods and lack or incorrect of knowledge about nutrition and exercise. Our team is comprised of educators, food service managers and child care professionals who are deeply committed to building a healthier outcomes for youth.

Our Eat Right Education Series and Power Up Pledge campaigns also orignate our of these same communities.
