Our Work in Kentucky

In Kentucky, we’re making it easier for kids to develop healthy habits.

Almost 1,200 schools serving over 632,000 students across the state have joined Healthier Generation's Healthy Schools Program, creating healthier school environments for children to thrive. Since 2007, 79 Kentucky schools have been recognized with National Healthy Schools Awards for their outstanding efforts.

In Kentucky, we’ve made it easier for more than 16,800 youth in 41 out-of school time programs to eat right and move more through our Healthy Out-of-School Time Initiative. 

Healthier Generation also enlists the help of regional and local partners to create healthier schools. These partners, such as HealthCorps and Baptist Health of Madisonville, receive specialized professional development training from Healthier Generation staff and gain access to Healthier Generation's customized professional development training, tools, resources and data that empower them to guide schools to improve physical activity and nutrition policies and practices.

Success Stories

Hear from our school champions from just one of the many districts we work with in Kentucky: Fayette County Public Schools, enrolled with the Healthy Schools Program since 2011.

We used Healthier Generation's Product Navigator and Calculator and compiled a list of snack items that meet the guidelines. This made it easier to keep track of what’s being bought and sold to our kids.
