Mission
The Need is Urgent.
The Solution is Long-Term.
Childhood obesity is an immediate, complex crisis that requires sustained effort. According to the Centers for Disease Control, childhood obesity rates have doubled over the past 20 years. This growing issue not only affects physical health but also holds back students’ academic success.
​
Unhealthy students often struggle to stay fully engaged in school. Obesity has been linked to poorer academic performance, particularly in adolescence, with overweight students missing more school days due to health issues. The academic journey for these students can be hindered by absences and social challenges, including bullying, withdrawal, and physical demands linked to conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Obesity is a chronic problem that crosses all racial, socioeconomic, and ethnic boundaries, impacting communities everywhere.
​
Say Yes to Life is here to meet this challenge. Our programs provide critical education, mentorship, and leadership development to support the holistic well-being and improved academic performance of our youth.
​
Our services reach children ages 5-18 in Long Beach and surrounding areas, but the impact goes beyond the individual. Many families find that they, too, benefit from the knowledge, resources, and support we provide. Together, we’re building healthier futures for our children and our community.
