YOUTH & FAMILY WELLNESS

Helping kids and families build healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

Healthy habits are easier to build when movement, confidence, education and connection are part of everyday life from the beginning.

AMAX Community Foundation creates and supports youth and family wellness programs that make movement approachable, practical and engaging while helping young people build confidence, physical literacy and healthier routines.

HEALTHY KIDS. HEALTHY FAMILIES. MOVE.
LEARN.
GROW.
THRIVE.

Creating positive experiences with movement, wellness and healthy habits.

WHY IT MATTERS

Healthy habits can start long before adulthood.

Movement helps children explore what their bodies can do, develop coordination, build confidence and experience the benefits of an active lifestyle.

When families, schools and communities make wellness part of everyday life, children have more opportunities to develop habits and skills that can support them for years to come.

WHAT WE FOCUS ON

Building a stronger foundation for lifelong wellness.

Youth wellness is about more than structured exercise. It includes movement skills, confidence, education, healthy habits and positive experiences that help young people feel successful.

01

Movement

Giving kids opportunities to move, play and develop confidence in being physically active.

02

Physical Literacy

Developing foundational movement skills such as balance, coordination, jumping, running and body control.

03

Confidence

Helping children discover what they can do in a supportive environment that celebrates progress.

04

Healthy Habits

Encouraging everyday routines around movement, wellness and positive lifestyle choices.

05

Education

Teaching age-appropriate health and wellness concepts in ways children and families can understand and use.

06

Family Connection

Creating opportunities for families to move, learn and build healthier routines together.

PHYSICAL LITERACY

Confidence in movement can open the door to a more active life.

Physical literacy is the development of movement skills, confidence and understanding that can help children feel more comfortable participating in physical activity.

The goal is not to create elite athletes. It is to help children develop the movement foundation they need to participate, explore and enjoy being active.

MOVEMENT SKILLS MAY INCLUDE
01 Balance and body control
02 Running and changing direction
03 Jumping and landing
04 Coordination and reaction
05 Strength through age-appropriate movement

YOUTH & FAMILY PROGRAMS

Programs designed to make wellness engaging and practical.

Youth and family programming can be delivered in schools, community organizations, camps, family events and virtual settings.

FAMILY WELLNESS

Healthy habits are easier to build together.

Children learn from the environments around them. Family wellness initiatives can help make movement and healthy routines feel like a normal part of everyday life.

01

Move Together

Family-friendly movement experiences that encourage participation without pressure.

02

Learn Together

Practical education that helps families better understand movement, wellness and healthy routines.

Encourage simple habits that can become part of daily or weekly family life.

04

Celebrate Progress

Focus on participation, confidence and consistency rather than comparison or performance.

FOR SCHOOLS & YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS

Expand movement opportunities without building everything from scratch.

Schools, after-school programs, camps and youth organizations may want to offer additional wellness opportunities but not have the staff, curriculum or resources to create them internally.

AMAX Community Foundation can work with partners to identify the need and develop movement, wellness or educational programming that complements what is already available.

VIRTUAL ACCESS

Wellness can reach beyond the classroom or gym.

Virtual programming allows movement and wellness education to reach families, schools and organizations regardless of location.

01

Virtual Movement Classes

Guided age-appropriate movement sessions that can be used in classrooms, homes or community programs.

02

Virtual PE Resources

Movement content that can complement physical education or support remote learning environments.

03

Family Wellness Resources

Simple educational tools that help families bring healthy movement into everyday routines.

04

Health Education

Age-appropriate wellness lessons that can be shared across multiple communities.

OUR APPROACH

Build confidence before competition.

Not every child identifies as an athlete, and they should not have to. Positive movement experiences can help more young people discover a form of activity they enjoy.

WHAT WE WANT KIDS TO EXPERIENCE

Movement should feel possible.

01 I can learn this.
02 I can get stronger.
03 I can improve with practice.
04 Movement can be fun.
05 There is a place for me here.
