Empowering Youth Through Fitness
$3,730 Raised
Fit Kids is on a mission to provide structured physical activity, movement, and mindfulness programs to all children, connecting them to the physical and mental health benefits of exercise.
Fit Kids provides equipment and a fun, comprehensive curriculum that includes a variety of sports and fitness activities to 176 schools, after-school programs, and community organizations in underserved communities. Our program is designed to be fun, engaging, and accessible to children of all ages and abilities, and includes fitness stations, relays, games, and mindfulness activities.
Fit Kids partner sites serve a majority of students from low-income families and marginalized communities. These communities often lack safe parks, affordable sports programs, and adequate physical education opportunities at school due to budget constraints. The lack of physical activity among children from these communities affects their physical health, and also contributes to mental health and academic challenges. Fit Kids serves as an evidence-based solution to address these health disparities.
A majority of our programs are located in the San Francisco Bay area, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas and Sacramento, but you can find us all across the US - and in Mexico!
Over 28,000 youth are participating in Fit Kids this year. Without our program, these students would not consistently have access to structured physical activity.
