Dear Partners,

Just a reminder that tomorrow - Wednesday, April 2 from 1-3 p.m. ET - Let’s Move Faith and Communities and the National Institutes of Health are offering a webinar training that will equip health leaders to run Media-Smart Youth®: Eat, Think and Be Active! To register for the webinar, click here.

Media-Smart Youth is an after-school program that uses nutrition and physical activity examples to help young people ages 11 to 13 understand how media influences the choices they make and to help youth build media analysis and production skills. It is part of the National Institutes of Health’s We Can!(Ways to Enhance Children’s Activity & Nutrition) program, a science-based national education program that provides parents, caregivers and communities with the strategies and skills they need to help families improve food choices, increase physical activity, and reduce screen time.

We hope you can join us for this webinar training on Media-Smart Youth!

Sincerely,

The Let's Move Faith and Communities Team
