The YMCA announces that it will create new standards establishing a a minimum amount of physical activity for children of different ages. The standards were developed through collaborations with the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), University of Massachusetts at Boston, the Healthy Out of School Time Coalition (HOST) and the National Institute for Out of School Time (NIOST). Through collaborations such as these, the Y has learned the most effective ways to create healthy environments in out-of-school time settings.
