Program Description: The Lewis and Joan Platt East Palo Alto
Family YMCA is a community center in the heart of East Palo
Alto. This branch had its beginnings in 1989, when the
YMCA of the Mid-Peninsula began offering character-building
programming to underserved youth in East Palo Alto.
Program offerings included (and still include) in-school fitness
classes at local elementary schools; youth basketball and soccer
leagues; summer and holiday day camps; and the Youth &
Government model legislature for teens. The YMCA increased
its reach and impact in the East Palo Alto community year after
year and in 1996 was chartered as a fully-fledged branch of the
YMCA of the Mid-Peninsula.
After a $17 million capital campaign and more than seven years
of advocacy, planning, and finally construction, the community
celebrated the grand opening of a brand new East Palo Alto YMCA
facility in February, 2007. This 32,000 square-foot
facility offers unprecedented opportunities for health, wellness
and community building to the people of East Palo Alto.
Currently, the East Palo Alto Family YMCA is serving more than
2,000 members, 90% of whom are East Palo Alto residents.
Through a unique income-based fee structure, we are proud to
provide financial assistance to 92% of our members to ensure
that everyone who chooses may experience the excitement and the
engagement of belonging to the YMCA.

Program Description: CATCH (Coordinated Approach To Child
Health) is a program designed to promote physical activity,
healthy food choices, and prevent tobacco use in elementary
school aged children. CATCH employs a holistic approach to
child health promotion by targeting multiple aspects of the
school environment and involving classroom teachers, school food
service staff, physical education (PE) teachers, students’
families, and the broader school community in a range of health
promoting activities for all children in grades K-5. The
four core components of CATCH include: (1) the Eat Smart school
cafeteria nutrition program, (2) physical activity and healthy
eating classroom curricula, (3) the CATCH physical education
program, and (4) a family education and involvement program.
The coordination of health messages and activities between these
four component areas is critical to positively impact children's
knowledge, skills, and behavior. For nearly 20 years,
CATCH has guided schools, families, and children in healthy
living.
CATCH began as a randomized controlled clinical trial evaluated
from 1991-1994 in 96 schools (56 intervention, 40 control).
As a multi-centered trial, CATCH was one of the largest and most
influential school-based health promotion study ever funded in
the United States.
The CATCH program has received state, national, and
international recognition for being one of the most
comprehensive and ambitious approaches to targeting physical
education, food services, classroom curriculum, and families
through a coordinated
school health program. In Texas, greater than 2,000
schools, nearly 50% of all elementary schools in the state have
adopted the program. The lessons learned in Texas have
been applied in other areas of the United States and CATCH has
been adopted by
more than 7,000 schools nationally. Together the
University or Texas CATCH team and program distribution partners
at Flaghouse Inc. are bringing to CATCH to schools and
communities around North America.

"What is the Training Institute?" The Training Institute
is a four day program at Stanford University to train and
certify you to deliver the Stanford Pediatric Weight Control
Program at your own organization. The Institute will
provide you with the principles, skills, practice, and materials
needed to help you run our successful weight control program in
your own setting(s), and an exciting new interactive world wide
web resource to help providers manage the program from
recruitment to completion, set appropriate behavior change
goals, monitor progress, provide feedback, and provide reports
for both providers and patients. Successful
completion of the Institute will certify your organization to
use the Stanford Pediatric Weight Control Program and materials.
Attendance will be limited to a small number of organizations to
provide intensive, individualized training and coaching.
"Who should attend Institute?" Health Educators,
Nutritionists, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Pediatricians,
Family Physicians, or other health or educational professionals
looking to implement a proven successful, intensive treatment
program for overweight children and teens and their families.
"What is the Stanford Pediatric Weight Control Program?"
First developed in 1996, and continuously improved over the past
decade, the Stanford Pediatric Weight Control Program is a six
month, family-based, behavioral, group treatment program
designed to promote life-long healthful eating and activity
habits for overweight children and their families. The
program was designed to translate many of the characteristics of
the most successful research treatments for real world settings
and diverse populations. The program is delivered by
“Behavior Coaches” to groups of 9-12 families at a time, in
weekly sessions over six months. Parents/guardians and
their children or teens meet both together and separately during
each group session. The Stanford Pediatric Weight Control
Program is available in versions for families with 8-12 year old
children (English and culturally-tailored Spanish versions) or
13-15 year old teens (English only). The Program is
extremely well received by participating families. More than 400
families have completed the program to date at Stanford Medical
School and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. More than
80% of the families completed the full six month program; an
outstanding retention rate! The Program is not designed
for large, rapid, short-term weight loss. It promotes
weight maintenance up to moderate, clinically significant weight
loss, with continued balanced nutrition and healthy growth.
80% of participating children who completed the program reduced
their age-, height- and sex-adjusted weights by an average of
nearly 10% (and up to 38%). 75% of overweight parents have
also lost an average of 5 pounds and as much as 45 pounds in the
program. More information about the ongoing program is
available at

Program Description: Prevention Institute was founded in 1997 to
address complex health and social issues. We move beyond
approaches that target individuals, one person at a time, to
create systematic, comprehensive strategies that change the
conditions that impact community health. The organization
builds on the successes of a variety of fields and applies them
to new challenges in fields such as injury and violence
prevention, traffic safety, health disparities, nutrition and
physical activity, and youth development.
Prevention Institute believes that a prevention approach that
draws on all the necessary stakeholders is necessary to ensure
that prevention efforts are systematic and comprehensive.
By linking practices from public health, education, urban
planning, social work, and other fields, communities can create
conditions for healthier living.
The Strategic Alliance for Healthy Food and Activity
Environments (Strategic Alliance) is a coalition of nutrition
and physical activity advocates in California. The
Strategic Alliance is shifting the debate on nutrition and
physical activity away from a primary focus on personal
responsibility and individual choice to one that examines
corporate and government practices and the role of the
environment in shaping eating and activity behaviors. The
Alliance's goal is to benefit the health and wellness of all
California residents by promoting environmental solutions and
institutional and government policies and practices that support
healthy eating and activity.
Prevention Institute is a current member.

Program Description: The East Oakland Boxing Association (EOBA)
is an established non-profit organization 501(c) 3, located in
the East Oakland community. The lure of the tough sport of
boxing coaxed even the most hardened youth to curiously
investigate this new establishment in the middle of their world.
Once through the doors, youth are guided to the Smartmoves
Program. Since then, the East Oakland Boxing Association
and Smartmoves Program has provided free services to over 20,000
children and youth ages 6-20. Our mission is to provide a
safe and nurturing environment in which the children and youth
of East Oakland and surrounding areas can learn life skills,
achieve success in school, and build self-esteem in preparation
for their futures.
The Smartmoves Program provides free tutoring, mentoring, art,
music, theater, computer skills, health and nutrition, and
enrichment activities for children ages 6-13. Activities
offered are based on the integrated and cross-curricular concept
in that basic academics can be learned through using forms of
art, music, and additional alternative methods. For
example, a student who is having trouble learning basic math
skills is provided with the opportunity to learn math through
hands on activities in the garden, on stage, or through
interactive computer programs. Our creative arts
instructor is experience with teaching violence prevention and
anger-management skills through performances, movements, and
writing. Students perform their inventive creative art
during monthly poetry slams. In addition, the Smartmoves
has begun to dig deeper into the issues of health and nutrition
of youth. We offer a bi-weekly nutritional cooking class
taught by a nutritionist and aspiring chef. We have also
hired a gardener to work with youth in the garden where we focus
on getting youth to take vegetables home to their families.
Typically, there are more than 50 youth that attend the
Smartmoves Program daily. We are a year round program that
operates Monday through Friday from 3pm-6pm during the school
year and Monday through Friday 11am-5pm during the summer
months. The summer program focuses on a rounded education
with academics in the morning, a healthy and nutritious lunch
provided by the City of Oakland Summer Lunch Program, dance and
theater, enrichment activities, arts, field trips, and gardening
in which the youth learn the processes of plant care and growth,
how to eat right, and they have the opportunity to bring fresh
fruits and vegetables home to share with their families.
