HEPA Afterschool: Rise Up at NAA19!

Tuesday, 18 December 2018 14:26

Did you know that the National AfterSchool Association is a great resource for professional development supporting healthy eating and physical activity (HEPA) in afterschool?

The 2019 NAA Annual Convention—taking place in New York City, March 15 – 18, 2019—will feature more than 25 dedicated HEPA workshops, group fitness sessions, a learning expo with exhibitors sharing HEPA products and services, and more!

When surveyed, past Convention participants who attended HEPA-related workshops indicated:

  • Increased knowledge on how to access HEPA resources.
  • Increased confidence in delivery of HEPA experiences.
  • Increased confidence in communicating with schools, families and communities about the importance of HEPA in Out-of-School time.

People with a passion for HEPA and how it impacts youth in afterschool are encouraged to join us! NAA19's theme is Rise Up! Passion. Purpose. Persistence.

Rise up for HEPA in afterschool by attending!
