Healthy Kids in the Heights

Healthy Kids in the Heights Fighting obesity & empowering families to live healthier lives Healthy Kids in the Heights created a successful free 6-week summer fitness program for kids.

We partnered with the Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center to offer yoga, dance, martial arts, and games. Our program was covered by the Manhattan Times and the NY Daily News. Currently, we are running a new program: Healthy Parents Fellowship. This innovative program empowers parents to improve their health and the health of others. The fellowship provides training in nut

rition, fitness, and cooking. Parents learn how to make sustainable lifestyle changes and are supported by the group. Parents have sampled yoga, Zumba, kickboxing, and circuit training. The pilot program for Healthy Parents Fellowship runs from January-June 2012 at Church of the Intercession in Washington Heights. The program occurs twice a month on Saturdays. Healthy Kids in the Heights has five volunteer staff members assisting with the program. Volunteer staff include nutrition students from Hunter College, a certified personal trainer, a grad student studying human nutrition at Columbia, and a volunteer with a masters in public health.
