What are the benefits of becoming a Power Partner?

• Collaboration - Strength in numbers!  The growing number of youth between the ages 9 to 15 years old with unhealthy eating behavior and sedentary lifestyle continues to be an issue in the Bay Area, particularly for economically challenged communities. After discussion with several other regional groups, we've agreed on a need to improve the current statistics for this age level, and how a systematic, multilevel approach is key.
• Partnerships -You will build partnerships to influence policy changes in support of 5 a Day and ensure that all members of your community have access to fresh produce and safe physical activities outlets.
• Publicity - For your program activities and efforts in creating a supportive environment for children to make healthy food choices and be physically active.
• Free Resource Materials - For your agency if you are serving 9-to 11- years old children from low-income families, parents, adult intermediaries, and policy makers. All materials are produced in English and Spanish.
• Information - Guest speakers and presenters provide the latest information in social marketing, nutrition, media, supermarkets, and restaurants.
• Technical Support - For your local activities from the lead agency and local coordinator.
