Nebraska Action for Healthy Kids, affiliated with national Action for Healthy Kids, is the only nonprofit organization in Nebraska formed specifically to address the epidemic of overweight, sedentary, and undernourished youth by focusing on changes in schools to improve nutrition and increase physical activity.
Game On! The Ultimate Wellness Challenge is a year-long program that challenges America’s youth, their families and schools to incorporate healthy food choices and physical activity into their daily lives. A series of four theme-based challenges spaced throughout the school year promotes, engages and recognize students for their efforts to make better food choices and move more. The Challenge Course is a special event that can be used to kick off and/or conclude the year or used midway through the year to add momentum to your program.
