Role Models

Here are a few of WalkKids’ role models (and an interesting walkfact about each). Girls on the Run’s Running Buddies seeks “power walkers” among the several types of volunteers they need. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Denver’s Sports Buddies lists a stadium (walking) tour among recommended Big/Little activities. The Bay Area Women’s Sports Initiative Go Girls Go! addresses teen obesity, encourages girls to set personal activity goals and begins sessions with walking. Girl Scouts of America teamed with the American Volkssport Association to offer an AVA Patch for kids who do 12 AVA events—a majority are walks.
