Stronger to Serve makes kids, families and communities stronger by combining fun fitness and service in everything we do. By instilling a love of physical activity and helping kids discover the unique ways in which they can each meet the needs of the community, we plant the seeds for long-lasting health and community impact.  Our Kindness Marathon afterschool program not only gets young elementary school children excited about fitness by motivating them to complete 26.2 miles over the school year, but also gives them the opportunity to learn about and act on ten different community needs (e.g., standing up against bullying, caring for animals, veterans, the elderly, the hungry, etc.).  Run Solve Serve, our afterschool program for older children, helps them learn about themselves and others through running and gain experience in problem-solving and innovation while working on a challenge for a local nonprofit.  During our Fitness and Service Together (FAST) events, families learn, serve and get active together, engaging in their community and developing empathy through face-to-face interactions at the growing list of nonprofits that we serve.  Finally, our Stronger Teams Through Service events help youth sports teams bond while serving the community. Our impact starts when kids are young and grows exponentially through the community as they influence and lead others throughout their lives.
