Better Health for Children and Adults

Obesity rates for children have tripled in the last 30 years, and doubled for adults 50+, putting the health of our communities at risk.

Through CATCH Healthy Habits, you can be part of the solution. CATCH brings children and adults age 50+ together to learn good eating and physical activity habits for a lifetime.

We have lots of ways you can help combat obesity in your community:

Work with children in grades K to 5 to lead fun, active games, share healthy snacks and learn about good food choices. Sessions meet weekly for an hour and training is provided.

Support the team on site or behind the scenes. Prepare snacks, transport game equipmen or provide office support. Watch the kids in action and collect data to measure results.

Spread the word to people in your community. Take photos or videos of kids in action. Get the buzz going on Facebook and invite more people to get involved.

Take the lead by communicating with team members and partners to coordinate the sessions. Put your organizational skills to work to help expand the program and reach more kids.

Partnership opportunities

OASIS will work with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, YMCAs, schools and other community partners to offer CATCH Healthy Habits in 14 states.
