REGISTER YOUR SCHOOL OR DISTRICT FOR PROJECT FIT AMERICA

Welcome to Project Fit America!

We are a national agency that works at the grassroots level with schools and front line educators to create new opportunities for kids to be active, fit and healthy. We believe in fit kids, one school at a time.   We work with communities to bring in funding, equipment, teacher training, curriculum and the resources schools need to actually get kids fit and foster a love of movement.   When Project Fit America comes to a school, kids never want to miss PE and teachers report they see fantastic changes not just in their students' health, but in their attitude toward fitness and healthy life styles.

We are an action based charity which means the funds we receive result in kids in motion.   We have been doing this work for twenty years and have learned that it is true….if you build it, they will come!

2008 Project Launch

October 24, 2008 

FLORENCE, MS (WLBT) - A crowd of Rankin County school students gathered in the Florence Middle School gymnasium are cheering and hoopin' it up, but it's not just their brand new hula hoops that have them so excited!

Students from across the district gathered Thursday for a celebration. Through grant money, 15 of the district's elementary schools and three of its middle schools now have a Project Fit America outdoor fitness center on campus. The schools have all agreed to incorporate the program into their curriculum. . . click here for WLBT news article.
