Programs: Grants: Healthy Living

Established by Kraft Foods, Inc.
To help communities create educational programs and public awareness that will confront the climbing trends of obesity, National 4-H Council with funding provided from Kraft Foods, Inc., offered a minimum of 10 grants of up to $7,000 to develop or expand innovative and fun programs that partner youth ages 5-12 with adults to reverse these trends. Applicants must have demonstrated interest and experience in dealing with the issues of obesity, fitness, nutrition, and healthy lifestyles.

Only delegations that attended the 2006 John Deere Leaders Academy are eligible to apply for the 2007 Healthy Living grants.  Grantees will present a state-wide healthy living action plan that was developed at the John Deere Leaders Academy.
