Health & Wellness

Helping kids build healthy habits for life.

Healthy kids are better prepared to learn, grow, and succeed. Through fitness, nutrition, social-emotional learning, and wellness-focused programs, we help young people build lifelong habits that support their physical, emotional, and mental well-being in a safe and encouraging environment.

SMART MOVES

The SMART Moves (Skills Mastery and Resistance Training) prevention/education program addresses problems such as drug and alcohol use and premature sexual activity.

SMART Girls

The goal of the SMART Girls program is to help girls develop and adopt a healthy attitude and lifestyle, as well as acquire and maintain a positive self-concept, sound decision-making skills and mentor relationships. Female members need a safe setting in which they can address health and interpersonal issues unique to them and build the necessary skills to resist negative influences such as drugs, alcohol, and premature sexual activity.

Healthy Habits

Healthy Habits is the “Mind” component of the Triple Play program. The Healthy Habits curricula focuses on making choices that support a healthy eating pattern and physical wellness. This targeted program is made up of interactive practical activities that develop a young person’s ability, confidence and motivation to eat healthy for life. 

Passport to Manhood

The goal of the Passport to Manhood program is to teach and promote responsibility, reinforce positive behavior and develop character in adolescent males. The passage from boyhood to manhood is challenging, requiring adolescent males to understand and manage many issues and transitions. Passport to Manhood addresses critical issues that young men face during this time, such as decision-making, wellness, ideas about fatherhood, employment and careers, cooperation and conflict, relationships, life skills and resiliency.
