CATCH Healthy Habits
About Us
CATCH Healthy Habits is an evidence-based intergenerational program that encourages healthy eating and active living. The program combats obesity by engaging adults as mentors to teach healthy lifelong habits to kids in grades K-5. Adults that volunteer with the program benefit in several ways. Research shows that volunteers have lower rates of depression and mortality and greater functional ability than those who do not volunteer. As they promote healthy habits for kids and for themselves, they also experience the rewards of meaningful community service.
