Family Well-Being Programs

In order for us to bring about meaningful change, we know that individuals need ongoing encouragement. Were here day in and day out to provide the resources needed by communities to address the most pressing social issues from childhood obesity to graduation rates. Through the support of our community, we empower every child, adult and family to achieve to be healthy, confident and connected. 

We have three programs that encourage healthy living and teaching good nutrition practices to families.  Lean Start is for parents with children in their preschool years.  Lean Kids and Trim Kids is for families who want to learn to be healthy together.  Current program descriptions, schedules and fees are available in our Program Guide whose link is found in the box to your left.
