Healthy Lifestyles

Healthy Lifestyles, a vital component of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Texas in Killeen, Texas, focuses on nurturing positive behaviors and promoting well-being among young individuals, fostering their journey toward self-sufficiency. Our overarching objective is to cultivate a healthier generation. Data comparisons between Boys & Girls Clubs of America's National Youth Outcomes Initiative Survey and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Youth Risk Behaviors Surveillance System reveal encouraging trends, with higher percentages of Club members reporting regular physical activity compared to their national peers. Additionally, Club members demonstrate a remarkable ability to resist health-risk behaviors, such as alcohol consumption, particularly as they progress through adolescence, highlighting the enduring impact of our programs on promoting healthy lifestyles.
