Transforming out-of-school time environments: The Y's commitment to healthy eating and physical activity standards

摘要

For nearly 160 years, the Y has worked to address our nation's most pressing social issues. One of the most important issues facing us today is helping the current generation of children overcome the epidemic of chronic disease and obesity. As a leading nonprofit committed to youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, the Y is using its strong background in cultivating health and well-being, its presence in nearly 10,000 communities, and its experience in convening stakeholders at the local, state, and national levels to take on this issue in a way that will have a lasting and meaningful impact.
