It is crucial to note that the Fitted4Life Foundation's approach to its goal reflects an intergrated and proactive, rather than reactionary or problem/solution perspective. The objectives of the program address the risk factors via the following activities:
-
Education in health, nutrition, behavior modification, fitness, diet modification and wellness to poor and obese stricken communities geared towards combating obesity and preventing severe health complications caused primarily by poor nutrition and obesity.
-
Self-esteem improvement and developement activities that enhance the process of delinquency prevention and create a new hope and feeling of self worth.
.
-
Financial education activities.
-
Technical assistance and training activities for schools and community organizations to enhance organizational change as well as improve their capacity to serve the needs of at-risk youth, women and their families.
Fitted 4Life maintains liasons with a number of agencies and organizations which are instrumental in effecting its program activities. These agencies include:
