Healthy Choices for Baltimore

Healthy Choices for Baltimore is a volunteer-based nutrition education program developed to address the growing epidemic of childhood obesity. The purpose of the project is to offer weekly nutrition education classes to 3rd - 5th grade students in an interactive and engaging manner, in order to initiate healthy lifestyles. Our goal is to entice students to take an active role in choosing a healthy lifestyle by offering exciting ways to incorporate healthy and fun eating and exercise habits. Our program, a Baltimore-based service, strives to introduce some of Baltimore's most vulnerable population to interesting and delicious food options, realistic and achievable exercise choices, and manageable and convenient lifestyle choices.
