What is LIFT - Levántate
LIFT - Levántate was initially founded to address the most challenging health and wellness issues confronting families in lower socioeconomic communities in our country.
LIFT - Levántate Programs
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics the most effective programs for the prevention of obesity teach participants self-regulation and impulse control, decision-making skills, social competence and encourages the reduction of sedentary behaviors. Children enrolled in our programs will demonstrate positive changes in their food choices, patterns of television viewing and overall activity levels. Successful programs for the prevention of childhood obesity focus on individual-level behavior changes and the transition from external behavior motivators to internal ones.

Testimonials
"The children we serve often have trauma and chaos as a component in their young lives. Seeing them blossom under the LIFT - Levántate program has been nothing short of a miracle. I have witnessed a child who felt hopeless before starting LIFT - Levántate suddenly gain self esteem and confidence upon entering the program while experiencing joy in the process. "
