OVERVIEW
All of Us Fitness, is a non-profit organization focused on helping youth ages 9-18 years, who face challenges with mental health and confidence in school, and in their local communities. We are focused to help overweight kids and special needs kids along with our chess academy for kids to help guide them and improve their mental health. Our primary goal is to provide critical services in some of the most vulnerable areas. We believe all youth are capable of excellence when provided access to relatable support systems in their communities.
THE CHALLENGE
Children who are in vulnerable areas are more likely to experience traumatic events than their peers. Dealing with problems like poverty, substance abuse, job loss, mental illness, homelessness, incarceration, safety issues, or neglect can cause toxic stress, which can hurt a person’s physical and mental health over time.
THE PROGRAM
All of Us Fitness is a community prevention and wellness program for youth, to support communities in creating sustainable change with youth in vulnerable environments by investing in prevention planning and practices that lead to healthier lifestyles. We incorporate physical fitness to enhance the mental and emotional health of the youth ages 9-18 years of age.
