Active Schools isn’t an organization or program. It’s a collective of all who care about providing active schools and developing active, healthy and happy kids.
Life is busy, so we tend to move in our own circles. We know what impact we can have there. But with collective impact, our circles overlap with others and we expand our ability to impact the things we care about.
By creating a network of parents, educators, organizations and advocates, Active Schools makes connections that activate the power of many to work toward the common goal of active schools and active, healthy and happy kids.
Complex social problems have more than one cause, and no individual, organization, policy or program can solve them alone. That’s why Active Schools brings parents, educators, organizations and advocates together, amplifying the reach and impact of every Active Schools partner organization and individual champion. Each thread, working together, is strong, but as they are woven together, they turn into a powerful rope.
Collective impact is more than that rope. It’s about how we all pull together.
Active Schools’ collective impact helps schools get the support and resources needed to prioritize physical education and physical activity opportunities before, during, and after school.
When it comes to promoting physical education and physical activity in schools, anyone can be a champion. Here are some of our inspiring supporters and ambassadors.
Individuals and organizations can make a difference by joining the movement and adding to our collective impact. The more Champions we have, the more connections that can be made, and the more powerful our voice.
Joining comes with no obligations and no requirements. It will give you the tools you need to continue to make an impact.
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.
