Community Involvement

Making Delaware a healthy state requires active community involvement. A wide variety of community groups and agencies are already helping by serving as leaders and resources to Delawareans throughout the state - but there is still much that can be done. We encourage all community groups (schools, worksites, faith-based organizations, non-profits) to join us in this wonderful endeavor.  Schools and youth groups are invited to contact Linda Smith, School/Youth Coordinator, at 831-6176 for more information, or to register their students for the Challenge. 

Currently, the Delaware Health Fund and the Division of Public Health are providing competitive mini-grants to community groups that wish to promote physical activity and/or healthy nutrition. If you would like more information on available grant funds, or information on how you can become involved in helping make Delaware the First State in Health, please contact us.
