Off-Site Programs: FitKids

Fitkids is a comprehensive health & fitness program that is designed to:

• increase youth’s awareness of the importance of maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.

• instill in youth a desire to be physically fit through regular physical activity.

• instill in youth an awareness of proper nutrition and making good food choices.

• increase a parent’s awareness of the importance of their children’s health & fitness.

Currently the Sequoia YMCA is offering Fitkids to four elementary after school programs in Redwood City servicing over 350 students in 1st to 5th grade.

The children participating in the Fit Kids program benefit from exposure to healthy choices and alternatives. The families benefit by receiving healthy lifestyle information, recreation and family time at the YMCA. The community benefits from healthier citizens. Ultimately society can benefit by having early preventive measures to combat some of the most costly and debilitating illnesses facing children and adults in society today
