Childhood obesity affects the entire country, but it does not affect all communities equally. Children and all people living in underserved communities are likely to face greater challenges in reversing patterns of inactivity and poor health.

The Safe Routes to School National Partnership is very pleased to be partnering with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and American Heart Association on the new Voices for Healthy Kids initiative to reverse childhood obesity by 2015. In this webinar, we will explain our new role leading the Active Places Hub and how we can support you to win campaigns at the state and local level that will increase shared use agreements and street scale improvements.

For this webinar, we are also partnering with Active Living Research to present information on increasing physical activity opportunities in underserved communities with a specific focus on reducing disparities and increasing activity in lower-income communities and communities of color.

SPEAKERS:

Deb Hubsmith, Director, Safe Routes to School National Partnership

Chad Spoon, Research Coordinator, Active Living Research

Mikaela Randolph, Shared Use Campaign Manager, Safe Routes to School National Partnership

Keith Benjamin, Street Scale Campaign Manager, Safe Routes to School National Partnership
