Empower Me

Join over 1 million KIDS and TEENS who have accepted the challenge!

Brought to you by the American Heart Association and presented by the Y's Health and Wellness professionals, EmpowerME4Life is a fun and practical 8-session healthy living course equipping kids age 8 – 12 with new attitudes, skills and knowledge about eating better and moving more—for life.

In these 45-minute sessions students will:

  • Discuss personal health, goal setting and establish healthy behaviors.
  • Participate in physical activity.
  • Better understand the importance of fruits and vegetables, water and other healthful foods and beverages.
  • Understand the benefit of reduced screen time (television, digital technology, video games).
  • Learn about the food groups, nutrition labels and healthy menu options.
