Youth Team Scholarships

A younger generation of advocates is beginning to spring up across the country and these young people realize the importance of improving nutrition and physical activity environments in their local communities. Therefore, California Project LEAN (Leaders Encouraging Activity and Nutrition) (CPL) is providing full scholarships for youth teams ages 14-18 and their adult allies to attend and participate in the 6th Biennial Childhood Obesity Conference.

Selected youth leaders will have the opportunity to network with other young people, talk about issues that affect their communities, share ideas on how to address these issues, and participate in sessions to expand their knowledge about childhood obesity. Adult allies will have the opportunity to network with other expert individuals as well as continue advancing their own professional development. Applications are due March 18, 2011.
