Team Kids Cafe is a coordinated training program to promote running and fitness to children of the South Plains Food Bank’s Kids Café after-school program. The main objective of the Team Kids Café program is to achieve positive changes in the long term health of children by encouraging active and healthy lifestyles through running. Research shows that running can help children do better in school, manage stress, and reduce childhood obesity.
Volunteer running coaches will develop Team Kids Café running teams at each of the Kids Café locations. The training program will begin in March and culminate with the opportunity for the children to participate in the Kids Café Fun Run held in conjunction with the Run for the Arts in April. For more information or if you would like to volunteer, contact Terry Dalton: 806-777-1456.
