Collaborating for Greater Impact
One of our key areas of focus is building partnerships with like-minded organizations who share our passion for increasing physical activity opportunities for youth. We believe that by collaborating with others, we can make a greater impact and reach more young people in need.
We also recognize the critical role that in-school physical education plays in keeping students active. Research shows that 60% of children rely solely on in-school activities for their daily dose of active play. That's why we are proud to work with the National Fitness Foundation in celebrating and supporting the important work being done in schools to promote physical activity.
Enhancing Access to Safe Sports Infrastructure
At WFEF, we are committed to making a difference in underserved communities by promoting capacity building through public/private funding solutions. We believe that every child deserves access to safe and well-maintained sports and recreation infrastructure. Through our efforts, we strive to create lasting change and increase opportunities for physical activity among youth.
Furthermore, we recognize the importance of recognizing and developing programs that support whole child health: encompassing not just physical health but also mental and social-emotional well-being. We are dedicated to promoting such programs and celebrating those who work tirelessly towards this goal.
Bridging the Gender Gap in Sports
In recent years, there has been a growing concern about the low participation of girls in sports. According to statistics, only 30% of girls between the ages of 6-12 participate in sports compared to 39% of boys in the same age range. This significant gap highlights a need for action to encourage and support girls in getting active.
We also recognize that there are underserved communities where resources for youth sports may be limited. This is why at WFEF, we strive to ensure that all children have the opportunity to stay physically fit and take part in sports, regardless of their location.
Furthermore, we strongly believe that providing opportunities for young girls to develop their skills and stay active is essential. Not only does it improve their physical health, but it also boosts their self-confidence, leadership abilities, and overall well-being.
Youth deserve access to fitness, nutrition, and mental health support, regardless of background. Our mission is to ensure these essentials for a healthier future.
