Promoting Health and Wellness
A lack of affordable, healthy food options, a proliferation of fast food spots, and a lack of fitness opportunities for youth, and other factors, contribute to a South Bronx community with one of the highest obesity rates in the nation. Maintaining good mental health and overall healthy lifestyles are also challenges in dense, urban neighborhoods. South Bronx United aims to address all these issues through fitness promotion and healthy snacks, and by providing individualized mentoring for youth.
