Washington Action for Healthy Kids Washington Action for Healthy Kids is a statewide partnership dedicated to improving the health and educational performance of children by supporting schools to educate the whole child, mind and body. We partner with students, families, schools, non-profits, businesses, state and federal agencies to improve access to nutrition, physical activity, and comprehensive health and physical education. We aim to to ensure that all kids eat right, are active every day, ready to learn, and empowered to make healthy choices. This is accomplished through the exchange of information; the creation and sharing of resources; and by enhancing represented organization's capacity to partner with students, families, and schools to improve school wellness. Partners Our partnership currently includes representatives from the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Department of Health , Department of Agriculture , the Childhood Obesity Prevention Coalition, University of Washington Center for Public Health and Nutrition, Washington Dairy Council, Washington State University Extension, Community Schools Collaboration, Washington Association of Physical Education, Recreation and Dance, and the Northwest Community Action Center. Regional leaders currently represent Okanogon, Yakima, and King County. We are actively recruiting volunteers to support additional regions.
