The S.A.Y. (Save America’s Youth) Yes! Center at New Life Covenant Church is an after school program serving at-risk youth in the English Avenue neighborhood of Atlanta. As part of a holistic approach to promoting the well-being of the children, the Center currently offers nutritious dinners.

We plan to expand our approach to promoting wellness, and specifically preventing childhood obesity, through physical education classes. Nearby public schools offer only minimal physical education classes for elementary and middle school-age children.

At the Center, the children will have the opportunity to exercise four days a week for at least thirty minutes and participate in weekly fitness and nutrition lessons. The program will be lead by a Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach with a Masters of Education in Exercise Physiology.

Funding needed for the first phase of development is $25,000. This will allow us to purchase equipment and complete renovations to adapt the current space. An additional $71,813 is needed for program expenses. For more information, see the documents below.
