The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Task Force for Healthy Weight in Children and Youth, established by the Mecklenburg County Health Department at the direction of the County Commissioners, is using the HWI State plan in the development of its recommendations and actions. The intervention centerpiece will be Fit City Challenge, a community wide call to action designed to get individuals eating smart and moving more. The campaign will be rolled out in late summer or early fall.

A regional Moving Our Children Toward a Healthy Weight Conference in Winston Salem attracted participants from sixteen counties. “Moving Orange County Children Toward a Healthy Weight — Finding the Will and the Way” was co-sponsored by Orange on the Move and the NC Cooperative Extension Orange County Center.

CHANGE for Children, a multilevel intervention, Committed to Healthy Attitudes in Nutrition, Growth and Exercise, was developed by a collaborative composed of the Goldsboro Family YMCA, Goldsboro Pediatrics, and Wayne County Health Department. It started as a 12-week intervention with 12 overweight children and youth. The class, expanded to a 16-week intervention for 25 participants. Some “graduates” of each class who complete all aspects of the intervention, are invited to become mentors to the next class.
