The Lane Coalition for Healthy Active Youth prevents childhood obesity through advocacy and action.

"If you want to go fast walk alone,
if you want to go far walk together."
--Ethiopian Proverb

Our projects and policy advocacy align with our three focus areas:

Physical Activity
     Increase amount of time children and adolescents spend being active.
Nutrition
     Improve access to affordable, healthful foods; decrease consumption of energy-dense, high sugar and high fat foods ("junk" food).
Screen Time
     Reduce the amount of time kids spend on passive activities such as watching TV, video games and computers; limit kids' exposure to harmful media messages.
