Working Together for Healthy Youth  (February 2006)

Since young people spend significant time outside of school and home, contexts such as youth-serving organizations providing extracurricular activities in both community-based and school based after-school pograms are important places for them to develop knowledge and skills and a range of opportunities to keep themselves and their peers physically and mentally healthy. Given the increasing focus on childhood obesity, eating patterns and lack of physical activity, this Youth Worker News focuses on information to address these issues. Click here to download.
