CANFIT. After School Physical Activity Policy Brief

This policy brief describes the physical activity landscape for youth in California today both in school and out and some of the challenges after school programs face in including physical activity programming. It then provides advice on preparing staff to lead after school programs, gives examples of how school-based programs are teaming up with community resources to expand effective physical activity programming, and provides recommendations for how school- and community-based after school providers can work to get the support and cooperation of community partners, schools, and local and state agencies in promoting and developing physical activity for youth.
