Since 1993, CANFIT has provided professional development opportunities to policymakers, government agencies, school, after school and health professionals, and youth-serving and community-based organizations. Our hands-on consulting, trainings and workshops focus on advancing culturally competent policies, practices and programs for adolescents in low income communities and communities of color.

Trainings & Workshops

Here’s what some previous participants of a CANFIT training had to say:
“The activity section was a great way to teach me how to get my youth more involved in health and exercises along with having fun!”
“I wanted it to be longer!”
“Great participatory format!”
“The workshop was very fun and unique!”
“Lots of simple and easy-to-implement ideas!”

CANFIT provides a variety of nutrition and physical activity related trainings. All of our trainings are interactive, hands-on, involve skill-building activities and have been pilot-tested and proven effective.

Workshop Assessment Form
In order to meet the specific needs of each group we train, we ask them to fill out a pre-workshop planning form so that we can tailor the training according to their unique needs.

Training Set-up Form
Since our CANFIT trainings are completely interactive, we recommend to set-up the training in this room style.
