Our Work in Arizona
In Arizona, we’re making it easier for kids to develop healthy habits.
Over 770 schools serving nearly 500,000 students across the state have joined Healthier Generation’s Healthy Schools Program, creating healthier school environments for children to thrive. Since 2007, 62 Arizona schools have been recognized with National Healthy Schools Awards for their outstanding efforts. We’ve worked with 24 Arizona schools in Navajo Nation and in 2014, Monument Valley High School became the first school on a Native American reservation to be recognized with our National Healthy Schools Bronze Award.
Healthier Generation enlists the help of regional and local partners to create healthier schools. These partners, such as the Arizona Department of Health Services and Health Corps, receive specialized professional development training from Healthier Generation staff and gain access to Healthier Generation’s customized tools, resources and data that empower them to guide schools to improve physical activity and nutrition policies and practices.
In Arizona, we’ve also made it easier for more than 15,800 youth in 134 out-of-school time programs to eat right and move more.
