5th grade students from Tecumseh Middle School with Rachelle after completing the empowerME4Life program
empowerME4Life
The American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation joined forces in May of 2005 to create a healthier generation by addressing one of the nation's leading public health threats -- childhood obesity. Along with their co-leader Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, the Alliance works to positively affect the places that can make a difference to a child's health: homes, schools, restaurants, doctor's offices and communities.
The Alliance for a Healthier Generation developed the empowerME4Life program to teach youth the basics of healthy eating and living active lifestyles, this 8-session healthy living course is targeted to kids ages 8-12 and can be facilitated by adults or teens in after-school settings.
When young people learn to make small changes in what they eat and how active they are, they can make a big difference in their health over time.
Each 45-minute session of empowerME4Life is grounded in the American Heart Association's recommendations and expertise in promoting heart-healthy lifestyles. The educational content and methods are aligned with the National Health Education Standards for fifth grade.
Do you know of an organization or school that could benefit from the empowerME4Life program? This program is typically used with 5th and 6th grade students.
