We are currently working to help schools and communities promote physical activity in youth and have systems in place to provide direct support to participating schools.

Spring

Iowa Mileage Club Based on a highly successful recess-based program called Mileage Club (www.fitnessfinders.com). The Mileage Club program is an incentive-based program that rewards youth for jogging during recess as part of a structured activity program. The program has been thriving in Ames and Story County and we would like to provide opportunities for other schools to try it out. Data from all schools will be tracked online to allow us to document total miles completed. Support will be available to assist schools in continuing programming. For more information contact us.

Fall

Iowa Walk to School The program offers an outstanding opportunity to help promote awareness about the importance of walking to school. Increased numbers of children walking to school would provide children with more physical activity, reduce congestion at school, save energy and provide social connections in neighborhoods. For more information on how your school can get involved, contact us.
