October 5 – 12 is kick-off week for the National Learn and Serve Challenge, a time for kids to plan service learning-activities.

Learn and Serve Challenge logoLooking for ideas? Take a cue from kids who fight obesity in their communities through TASC's Building Healthy Communities initiative:

  • Like kids in Newark Museum after-school programs, host an "Alternative Halloween" party with dried fruit and other candy-free treats.
  • Organize a walkathon to fight diabetes like kids at the New Settlement Apartments after-school program at PS 64 in the Bronx (tips here).
  • Organize a school-wide jump rope challenge like kids at Philadelphia's EducationWorks Emlen Elementary program.
