Get Your Walk On! The Monday Mile and How to Get Your School/Community Moving

Presenter: Cori Floyd, Program Associate, The Monday Campaigns/Move It Monday



Move It Monday is an international non-profit initiative that promotes fun activities for all fitness levels and ages to be active and healthy.

She will provide step-by-step guidance, as well as information about free resources to use to get started. In addition, she will share case study examples of Monday Mile programs taking place in schools, hospitals, and communities to serve as models that attendees can replicate and offer to their audiences.
