Alliance for a Healthier Generation Partners with the Boys and Girls Club for Healthier Foods During Out-of-School Time

The Alliance for a Healthier Generation has teamed up with the Boys and Girls Club of America to improve the health and wellness of kids in out-of-school time settings.

In this new initiative, leading food companies and purchasing organizations have agreed to extend the discounts and services they offer schools, to out-of-school time programs. Participating food companies have agreed to offer healthy foods that meet the Alliance for a Healthier Generation guidelines and USDA nutrition standards at prices no higher than comparable products that are less healthy.

Along with these price adjustments, out-of-school time programs could save 10 – 20 percent on their food and beverage purchasing.

More than 15% of American youth are involved in after-school programs and millions more are engaged with summer camps, community centers and faith-based organizations.
