Mission: To engage diverse organizations, leaders, and volunteers in actions that foster sound nutrition and good physical activity in children, youth, and schools. Action for Healthy Kids is the nation’s leading nonprofit and largest volunteer network fighting childhood obesity and undernourishment by helping schools become healthier places so our kids can learn to eat right, are active every day and ready to learn. Nationwide, the school-based, grassroots efforts of our 20,000+ volunteers are supported by a collaboration of more than 70 organizations, corporations and government agencies. In the 2009-10 school year, Action for Healthy Kids’ volunteers and programs reached 4.5 million students in 9,200 schools.
