Highly energetic and physically engaging, the Get Fit program emphasizes cooperative activities to stimulate learning

The Get Fit program is ideal for Elementary Schools. It’s designed to teach youth leadership and teamwork through a physically engaging obstacle course.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Highly energetic and physically engaging, the Get Fit program emphasizes cooperative activities to stimulate learning. Athlete mentors and youth leaders teach children the fun of physical activity and the importance of healthy living, while emphasizing the importance of working together and supporting one another.

It is the opportunity to teach children the value of inclusivity (making friends with others), resiliency and overcoming obstacles, team building, and how to use your voice.

In the spirit of paying it forward, this program is led by high-school youth who have completed the S.W.O.L.E. Program. It gives them the opportunity to apply their newly gained leadership skills and serve a community service at their local elementary school with Athlete mentors and One Voice One Team staff .

Self-Respect
Work Hard
Overcome Adversity
Lead by Example
Excellence

These skills are vital in building a strong foundation as a leader. After learning these principles students are then challenged to live them out in their families, schools and communities.

In this program, our staff bring their personal life experiences to connect with youth and to create a brave and safe space.

 

I have also heard from Nathaniel’s mother who raved about how much Nathaniel loved it and how much he learned. She said he wants to be a leader in it one day!”
