Apple Corps promotes good health among King County youth and families by providing access to food resources, nutrition education and physical activity programs. Whether educating in the classroom, partnering with neighbors or shaping policies that affect our children's health, our team of AmeriCorps/VISTA Members empowers the community in the fight against hunger, malnutrition and obesity.

School-based Projects:

Eat Better, Feel Better — Apple Corps supports nutrition and physical activity programs, policies, and partnerships at five Seattle Elementary Schools as a partner of the Eat Better, Feel Better Initiative. In collaboration with the Seattle Nutrition Action Consortium (S.N.A.C.), National Service volunteers conduct activities to create healthy school environments. For example, Apple Corps:

• Develops school wellness policies.
• Provides structured recess activities.
• Leads school gardening initiatives.
• Educates students and families in the classroom and at family nights through taste tests, cooking demonstrations, and cross-curricular lessons (such as math, science, literacy and art).
• Conducts evaluations to assess the impact of our work in the communities we serve.
