Kids need physical activity for full, healthy, productive lives. But there is a nationwide crisis of inactivity. There’s only one way to fix that: parents, teachers, administrators and the community coming together to take action.
Together, we can increase physical education and physical activity in schools, fund programs and equipment, and promote active learning environments.
Movement is freeing. Movement is healthy. Movement is lifelong. This movement starts with all of us.
You want kids to have more physical activity. You may want to help your child’s school find resources, implement programs and celebrate movement. You might feel alone.
The type of action you take is up to you.
When parents, educators, and other champions come together, a community is formed. Our Active Schools community won’t be ignored. Together, we can move mountains.
Get cutting-edge research, health insights, and the knowledge you need to promote better health outcomes and the Active Schools Movement.

Making an impact on children’s physical activity levels isn’t something we can do by ourselves. See who the organizations that help make the movement happen.

Too often, we’re working alone. We want to have more movement in our classrooms. We want to make sure our kids get the physical activity they need. We want our schools to implement best practices and fun programs. But we’re not working together.
Collective impact brings us together. It makes the connections between individuals and groups. It builds momentum to reach more people and more schools. It weaves threads into a rope.
Collective impact is collaboration. Collective impact is how we make our voices heard. Collective impact is how we make a difference, together.
Becoming an Active Schools Champion is a way to make a difference in the health and education of the next generation. It’s how we bring health equity to schools. It’s how we start a movement.
