There Are Many Ways to Help Kids Get Healthy
Happy New Year! CATCH Healthy Habits needs you! Consider volunteering for CATCH Health Habits, an after-school program that brings teams of adults age 50 plus together with kids to learn about good eating habits and to play active games. CATCH Healthy Habits is beginning this month in South Portland and Westbrook, with more classes scheduled to begin in the coming months in these communities as well as Portland and Cumberland. Volunteers are desperately needed! There are many ways to help kids get healthy. 1. Work directly with children. Lead fun, active games, share healthy snacks and learn about good food choices with kids in grades K-5. Sessions meet weekly after school for an hour and training is provided. This is our most immediate need! 2. Spread the word. Share information about the program with people in your community. Take photos or videos of kids in action. Get the buzz going on Facebook and invite more people to get involved. 3. Take the lead. Communicate with team members, staff and partners to coordinate the sessions. Put your organizational skills to work to help expand the program and reach more kids. 4. Support the team. On site or behind the scenes, you can make things happen. Prepare snacks. Keep everyone in the loop by providing office support. Watch the kids in action and collect data to evaluate the program. While the program is geared to volunteers age 50 and over, volunteers under fifty can help, too. To learn more, contact the CATCH Healthy Habits Coordinator, Sharon Schulberger at 207-396-6523 or sschulberger@smaaa.org. This is an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of children. We look forward to hearing from you.
