Healthy Lifestyles
Families today are busier than ever, with more work, school and afterschool activities and scheduling issues. Couple these things with more sedentary lifestyles and more access to quick, sometimes less healthy meal choices and you can easily see the reasons for today’s childhood obesity statistics.
4-H Choose Health is intended to help youth and families confront and take action to change the statistics of childhood obesity.
In addition to a focus on wellness, healthy youth are confident in their choices and action, with skills that they are proud to demonstrate. 4-H activities and events also give youth the chance to learn new skills and demonstrate them with occasions to learn from friends and families in a caring environment.
Program Examples are posted on the 4-H Youth Community Action Blog
