The Facilitator Guide provides a comprehensive after-school healthy eating, physical activity, advocacy program for young people, ages 9-14 and their families. The Guide’s activities are child-driven, and are aligned to national education standards. The activities provide opportunities for young people to develop strategies and media messaging based on the 8 Habits of Healthy Kids^®.
