Let’s Move: Toolkit for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Organizations

The Let’s Move! campaign, started by First Lady Michelle Obama, has an ambitious national goal of solving the challenge of childhood obesity within a generation so that children born today will reach adulthood at a healthy weight.

Published by the Let’s Move! campaign, this toolkit addresses the unique role that faith-based and neighborhood organizations have to play in this movement due to the fact that these organizations are trusted leaders within their communities. Children learn many lessons about healthy living and well-being in faith- and community-based settings that set the foundation for their lifestyle as adults. This toolkit is designed to help faith-based and neighborhood organizations transform neighborhoods, engage communities, and promote healthy choices.

Four pillars of action are included in the toolkit:

1. Healthy Choices
2. Healthy Schools
3. Physical Activity
4. Affordable and Accessible Food.
