We envision a day when children regardless of their background or circumstance, will grow up with the motivation, education, and tools to live healthier, happier lives.

Our focus is obesity prevention and health promotion, particularly among urban youth. Recent research has shown that although obesity affects everyone, African-American women and adolescent girls are disproportionately affected by obesity and overweight, and are more physically inactive than their racial and ethnic counterparts. In response to this, we have narrowed our focus and developed programs and interventions for this population.
