Healthy Behaviors Initiative and Learning Centers

The Center for Collaborative Solutions (CCS), publisher of "Developing Exemplary Practices in Nutrition, Physical Activity and Food Security in Afterschool Programs" has created 17 Healthy Behaviors Learning Centers at 10 after school programs across the state. These centers volunteer to coach other publicly funded after school programs to improve nutrition and physical activity practices. Senator Mark DeSaulnier (D-Concord) participated in the rollout of the learning centers and honored the role after school programs can play in addressing childhood obesity.
