Connecticut Fitness and Nutrition Clubs In Motion, is a 4-H Afterschool program designed to reduce obesity rates in children ages 9 to 14, through sustainable interventions surrounding food and fitness.
The program is a collaboration between the University of Connecticut College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Department of Extension, and the UConn Neag School of Education Department of Kinesiology.
CT FANs IM, was modeled after the original 4-H FANs Fitness and Nutrition Clubs, a USDA Children, Youth and Families at Risk (CYFAR) Program.
