Our Mission

FitKids builds healthy communities in partnership with committed youth leaders, teachers, kids and parents by using fitness and nutrition as the basis for curricula including writing, math, geography, volunteerism and computer skills.

Why FitKids?

There is a difference between awareness of the childhood obesity problem and the action required to impact positive change!  FitKids is an ACTION-ORIENTED program that creates an environment for success for all of our participants! FUN is the key to building a lasting lifestyle change.  Take the FitKids Journey with us this school year and see what we mean!

Why Does FK Have A Sister School in South Africa?

Let's face it, a major contributor to childhood obesity is the overabundance of the American lifestyle.  When kids correspond with children who have little food, no electricity, and limited access to education and health care, they begin to realize how fortunate they are. FK participants begin to form an appreciation for the world around them while developing compassion for those less fortunate than themselves.  A major component of the FitKids program is teaching kids to take care of themselves through healthy lifestyle choices which in turn allow them to help others.
