Teacher and Coach Resource Center

The mission of the Healthy Futures movement is to get Alaska youth in the habit of daily physical activity. Join us in this critical mission! Use your power to help students develop the skills, knowledge and desire needed to become active for life.

Healthy Futures is geared up and ready to support you with a variety of resources, tools and incentives for running a successful Healthy Futures program at your school. Together we can create healthier communities through more active children and families. Active Kids. Healthy Futures. Let's get moving and keep moving!

Our goal is an average of 2.5 logs per student for the 2009-10 program.

Healthy Futures Tools, Tips and Resources

*Please note: we have made some modifications to the incentive program, with the ultimate goal of increasing repetition while growing total participation.

In order to qualify, students must complete and record a minimum of 30 minutes of vigrous physical activity, at least 3 days per week, for 4 consecutive weeks - beyond the physical education classroom.

School Grants Awarded - Earn up to $850

The top five schools with the highest percent of student participation between June 1, 2009, and May 31, 2010, will each receive a $100 cash grant. Within the top five, the three schools with the highest repetition rate (Average Logs per Student) will receive additional grants in the amount of $250 for third place, $500 for second place and $750 for first place.
