Fuel and Fit combines fun, hands-on culinary lessons with engaging physical activities to promote a healthy, balanced lifestyle. In each session, participants learn how to prepare nutritious, age-appropriate meals and snacks while gaining foundational knowledge about food, wellness, and body confidence. The fitness component includes a variety of movement styles—from walking and yoga to strength and cardio games—aimed at building strength, coordination, and self-esteem. Fuel and Fit inspires young girls to take charge of their health, develop lifelong healthy habits, and celebrate what their bodies can do.
