A World Fit For Kids! provides daily afterschool programs
at 11 Title I schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
WFIT programs combine purposeful physical activity with proven youth development principles and include nutrition education, homework help, mentoring and select enrichment activities. In addition to reducing obesity, increasing graduation rates, and enhancing work readiness, these programs promote physical, mental and emotional wellness.
Our matriculating K-12 model features age-appropriate programs that promote health by establishing physical activity as a routine and fun aspect of life. Students can enter and benefit from our programs at any time in their development, but when possible, our goal is to establish contact at the elementary school level and maintain a relationship through high school graduation.
The students we serve become advocates and role models who change their communities from the inside out. By adopting healthy habits and sharing what they have learned, they positively influence their peers, families, neighborhoods and schools.
