Mark, Set, Go: Nutrition & Physical Activity Program

"Mark Set Go", a school and community based program, designed to promote healthy eating, exercise aimed towards 5th and 6th graders and their families. Specifically designed for minority children who have alarmingly high rates of childhood obesity, Mark, Set, Go! uses minority high school students as peer health educators in the classroom. The workshop uses age appropriate educational materials focusing on healthy life-style choices. Now in it's second year the eight week workshop series has been successfully conducted in five inner city Providence Schools: Veazie Street, Sofia Academy, Paul Cuffee, Sackett Street, and Bailey Elementary School. Through a grant from Coastway Credit Union the program was also conducted at the Rudolph Tavares Community Center and the John Hope Settlement House.
