Register for a We Can!™ Regional Training Today!
If you're concerned about childhood obesity in your community, you can learn how to use the National Institutes of Health's We Can! (Ways to Enhance Children's Activity & Nutrition) program to help keep 8 to 13 year-olds at a healthy weight through improved food choices, increased physical activity, and reduced screen time.
Created by the nation's top medical research agency, We Can! provides families and communities with science-based educational materials and curricula to prevent childhood obesity. The program is unique in that it can be tailored to fit the needs of individual communities. That's why in a mere four years, it has blossomed into a national movement of more than 1,150 registered organizations across all 50 states and in 11 other countries.
We Can! will be conducting trainings throughout 2010!

| • |
Obtain hands-on, interactive instruction on the program's science-based, turn-key, flexible resources. |
