Stories from Arkansas

Hear from champions from just two of the many schools and out-of-school time programs we work with in Arkansas: Malvern High School, enrolled with the Healthy Schools Program since 2011, and Children International, enrolled with the Healthy Out-of-School Time Initiative since 2013.

Since we started with Healthier Generation, we've improved student wellness programs and encouraged our physical education classes to be more active.

The Alliance for a Healthier Generation has been a great partner in giving us a framework for how to take an overwhelming issue like childhood obesity and break it down into manageable action steps.
