"We can all agree that in the wealthiest nation on Earth, all children should have the basic nutrition they need to learn and grow and to pursue their dreams, because in the end, nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our children. Nothing...These are the basic values that we all share, regardless of race, party, religion”
– Michele Obama
Providing essential services, like a full day’s nutrition and physical activity, to KidSafe participants is core to our mission. In addition to these services it’s important that children and families develop the knowledge and life-long understanding to maintain that level of nutrition beyond the KidSafe programs. KidSafe offers health and nutrition programming to children and families while working to ensure those practices becomes a normal part of everyday life. KidSafe reinforces the importance of daily physical activity through recreational programming and offers new opportunities to young people who might not have otherwise be able to experience them such as kayaking, rock climbing, swimming, or that special trip to a local beach. KidSafe also understands wellness is more than just physical health and works during the year in collaboration with professional counselors and child and youth workers to serve our children and families.
