🏈✨ Members of GENYOUth’s National Youth Council don’t just talk about change, they lead it.

Last week at the National Youth Council Summit, student leaders took the field at The Star in Frisco and experienced firsthand the power of play, movement, teamwork, and connection. 💙

NFL FLAG-In-School PLAY60 Champions, an NFL Foundation initiative powered by GENYOUth and Action for Healthy Kids, helps school districts expand physical activity opportunities beyond P.E., and build active, supportive environments for students throughout the school day.

These are the young people this work is designed to support, and when students experience the benefits of play themselves, they can become some of its strongest advocates. 🌟🙌
