Abstract: Escalating obesity rates among children across the nation has prompted interest in investigating the role of after school programs in the promotion of healthy eating and physical activity among participating children. This approach facilitates intervention programs that can be rooted in daily routines by frontline staff. Children need positive role models, the work could be a challenging process and will require motivating staff.
