Dear YWCA Leaders,
We missed an important announcement in last week's Weekly Wrap-Up and we are pleased to share it with you today:
We are hosting a webinar about the RunJumpThrow model program this Thursday, August 17 at 2 p.m. ET. Please register in advance to receive the correct dial-in information for the webinar. To prepare, we encourage you to review the RunJumpThrow landing page on the Intranet prior to the webinar.
More information about RunJumpThrow:
As an extension of our national Health & Safety platform, YWCA USA has adopted RunJumpThrow (RJT) as a model program. RJT, a program of USA Track and Field (USATF), is a hands-on curriculum to introduce children to the basic skills of running, jumping and throwing — skills that are essential to physical literacy and building life-long habits of and access to physical activity. As a model program, YWCA USA has partnered with USATF to customize a RJT curriculum that specifically focuses on how RJT aligns with one of our national outcomes: to improve the health of women and girls of color
If you have questions, contact Donte Hilliard, director of mission impact.
Sincerely,
YWCA USA Communications
