Our Programs
Actively Changing Together (ACT!)
The ACT! program helps families actively change together by practicing healthier habits as a team. This CDC approved Family Healthy Weight Program was developed in partnership with providers and professionals at Seattle Children’s and the YMCA of Greater Seattle, it includes 13 two-hour sessions where kids ages 8-14 and their parents/guardians participate in fun and engaging physical activities, learn about nutrition through hands-on cooking, and meet with other families in the program.
LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA
LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is a 12-week evidence-based physical activity and well-being program designed to help adult cancer survivors reclaim their health.
