About Fit4Kids
Greater Richmond Fit4Kids is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving children’s health and wellness in the Richmond region.
Our History
Making Healthy Fun
When healthy is fun, staying fit is child’s play. We’re taking kids back to a time when spending the day running, biking, jumping and dancing wasn’t called “exercise.” It was just playing. And oh, was it fun.
When healthy is fun, eating is an adventure. We’re getting our hands dirty in the garden and watching produce grow from seed to shoot to fruit. We’re experimenting with new foods that tickle our taste buds and energize our bodies.
When healthy is fun, making positive wellness choices comes naturally. At Fit4kids, we’re empowering youth to make healthy choices for themselves. We’re making healthy options accessible and we’re making healthy experiences equitable. Because that is the way childhood is supposed to be.
Values
Fit4Kids’ team is a dynamic group of professionals dedicated to promoting children’s health and providing Richmond’s students with positive school-based experiences.
