Game On! Youth Sports

Game On! Youth Sports programs within the Caribbean are designed to give children the ability to develop sports skills while learning how to make healthy lifestyle choices and avoid the negative behaviors that can lead to crime, violence, drug abuse, obesity and diseases such as HIV/AIDS.

Jump Rope for Heart is a program that encourages primary school children to enjoy healthy lifestyle activities and make informed nutritional meal choices. The program is facilitated by teachers and community volunteers and it combines the simple, low cost, fun-filled physical activity of jumping rope with an integrated curriculum approach that has the potential of infusing health information and education into other subject areas.

Kicking AIDS Out! is an innovative, inclusive, high energy approach that links sports, physical activity and traditional movement games with HIV/AIDS prevention and education.
