Power
Up for Sports and Health (PUSH) Toolkit
The PUSH toolkit provides coaches, parents, and league
representatives with the tools they need to make healthy nutrition
a part of any youth athletic experience. Sample league policies,
team messages, fundraising ideas, and healthy snack / concession
lists are just a few of the items that make the PUSH toolkit a
great resource for helping leagues and parents model healthy habits
at sporting events and practices.
Resources for Faith
Communities Toolkit
The icansandiego Resources for Faith
Communities Toolkit provides faith leaders with
easy-to-use resources for creating a healthier faith and community
environment. This joint effort between
icansandiego, a local web-based diabetes
prevention campaign, and the San Diego County Childhood Obesity
Initiative offers sample wellness policy templates and
implementation tips, instructions on starting community gardens and
walking programs, and other useful resources that support a healthy
mind, body, and soul.
Youth Engagement & Action for Health (YEAH!)
Training Manual*
The YEAH! manual and supplementary trainings were developed to
train leaders of youth groups to engage youth and adults to plan
and implement projects designed to create neighborhoods where it is
easier for people to be healthy. Engaging neighborhood youth
and adults creates a strong community of people who become
empowered to work for changes that support a healthier
lifestyle. Youth are trained to conduct neighborhood
assessments, select a meaningful project, and advocate for change
with local policy and decision makers. By participating in these
projects, youth identify and work toward a goal, become empowered
to create positive change, gain valuable leadership experience, and
build a foundation for life-long community involvement.
