CHANGE (Creating Healthy, Active and Nurturing Growing-up Environments) Program

Save the Children created the CHANGE program in 2005 to increase rural children’s access to regular physical activity and a healthy snack in the after-school environment.

The program reaches school-aged children, ages 6 to 12 years, in the poorest rural regions of the United States.

During the 2008-2009 school program year, the CHANGE Program provides daily structured physical activity and a healthy snack to children at more that 130 rural schools in 12 states. Through the in-school, after-school, and summer school CHANGE Program children learn basic principles of healthy living and become positive change agents for their parents at home, their peers at school, and in their community. Save the Children is making a positive contribution to reverse the rising rates of obesity in high-risk children through this program.

1. The Zone Posted:
   

   The Zone is part of our Wellness Program offered by Clarendon Health Systems for Clarendon County. We are located in the county seat, Manning, SC. The fitness center has been in existence for nearly 10 years now and has had a positive impact on the community. We are currently growing again with our efforts to reach out to all areas of the community (industrial and commercial accounts, general public, activities for seniors, year-round swimming lessons for all ages 3 and up, etc.). We are constantly seeking efforts to further engage the community in an effort to encourage more healthful living through increasing physical activity and nutritional education. Due to our affiliation with the hospital (we’re located on the same campus too)we have at our disposal a dietary department, cardiac rehab, physical therapy, et al, and are able to offer follow-up programs for individuals we special needs in these areas too.
