Colorado Action for Healthy Kids Action for Healthy Kids is the nation’s leading non-profit and largest volunteer network fighting childhood obesity and undernourishment by partnering with schools to improve nutrition and physical activity to help our kids learn to eat right, be active every day, and be ready to learn. The Colorado Team's focus for the 2011-2012 school year is on parent engagement. THE PARENT NETWORK is a community designed by Colorado Action for Healthy Kids to bring parents together around school wellness issues in their own districts and throughout the state. Through our parent wellness roundtable events, a parent education series, shared successes, and social media, the goal of The Parent Network is to educate, empower, and mobilize parents statewide with the necessary resources and support to take action in the areas of nutrition and physical activity in their own schools. 2012 Colorado AFHK Parents are the Power Awards At the core of Colorado school communities are committed and passionate parents who want to make schools a healthier place – for children and families. The 2012 Colorado AFHK Parents are the Power Healthy School Hero Awards will recognize 3-5 parent volunteers for their exceptional dedication and service towards the vision, mission, and goals of Action for Healthy Kids through volunteer work in their school community. Award winners will receive a $500 health and wellness grant for their school.
