Initiative, a program of Rosedale Development Association.

O U R M I S S I O N

Rosedale youth can participate in healthy activities year-round through the work of RHKI. Between weekly after-school programs, seasonal programs, and big events, kids have lots of options to stay healthy and have fun throughout the year. Some activities include:

n Healthy Kids Clubs

n Girls and Moms on the Move

n Freewheels for Kids

n Youth Sports

n Garden Clubs

n Healthy Kids Carnivals

n Healthy Halloween

RHKI promotes shared community spaces for youth and additional Parks and Recreation programming to create even more healthy activities for Rosedale youth and families.

A C C E S S I N G H E A L T H Y F O O D S

Healthy kids need healthy food options. RHKI creates access to healthy food in Rosedale through 12 (and counting) community gardens, plus home gardens kits that can help anyone grow

their own fresh vegetables. Schoolyard gardens at two local elementary schools teach kids where their food comes from.

Rosedalians can find even more healthy food options at the Rosedale Farmers Market, where SNAP and SFMNP customers get double value on every dollar they spend. For anyone who needs help preparing all that fresh food, there are healthy cooking classes available for kids and adults. RHKI also works to increase access to healthy food for everyone through advocacy for healthy food incentives and policies that support urban farms and gardens.

C R E A T I N G S A F E R O U T E S

Staying healthy means moving your body! Rosedale kids can join a Walking School Bus to start the day off with safe, healthy exercise, or they can attend a Bike Rodeo to learn tips and tricks for safe cycling. Community Walking Clubs offer walking buddies and motivation for adults who want to get moving.

RHKI advocates for sidewalks, walking trails, and bike paths in the neighborhood to make it easier and safer for Rosedalians to move, on foot or on wheels.

Niños Sanos en Rosedale (NSR) está cambiando la vida de los

niños de Rosedale

El Centro Médico de la Universidad de Kansas en 2008 realizó

un estudio que mostró que el 51% de los niños de primaria

sufren de obesidad o sobrepeso, comparado con el medio

nacional de 31.6%. Esta estadística alarmante impulsó la

comunidad Rosedale de lanzar el programa de Niños Sanos,

un programa de la Asociación de Desarrollo en Rosedale.

N U E S T R A M I S I Ó N

Niños Sanos en Rosedale (NSR) es un esfuerzo comunitario para reducir la obesidad infantil promoviendo estilos de vida saludables y activos para los residentes en Rosedale. NSR es un
