California Adolescent Nutrition and Fitness Program (CANFit)

Since 1993, CANFit has been at the heart of the movement to improve healthy eating and physical activity environments for adolescents. From grassroots to government, CANfit works with community-based and youth-serving organizations to identify local solutions and support the development of culturally competent policy and practices. CANFit seeks to engage communities, and build their capacity to improve the nutritional status and physical fitness of California´s low-income, African American, Latino, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian youth between the ages of 10 and 14.
