Our Mission
Shape Up US is deeply committed to diversity and inclusion as a core part of our mission to build healthier futures for all children. We strive to:
• Engage Diverse Communities: Our programs and outreach initiatives are designed to be culturally responsive, ensuring that families from every background can access our health and wellness resources. We actively seek input from community members to tailor our curriculum to reflect the unique needs and perspectives of the communities we serve.
• Inclusive Leadership & Partnerships: Our board, advisory teams, and staff represent various experiences and cultural backgrounds. We work with a broad network of partners—schools, local community organizations, and health advocates—who share our commitment to equity and inclusiveness.
• Equitable Program Design: By integrating diverse perspectives into our program development, we ensure that our educational materials and wellness strategies are accessible and relevant to all children. This helps us break down barriers to healthy living and address the disparities that can affect childhood obesity.
In short, diversity and inclusion aren’t just buzzwords for us—they are fundamental to how we operate and impact every community we touch.
