H.I.P. Kids is the Junior League of Omaha's signature project to inspire kids to get active and develop a healthy lifestyle. This project was launched in 2003 after a community needs assessment revealed the youth in the Omaha metropolitan area were at risk for obesity and its health-related problems. Factors indicated a lack of opportunity for fitness and nutritional education and a greater need for unstructured play. 

  

H.I.P. Kids to promotes Healthy, Inspired, and Proactive lifestyles among Omaha's children.  Our mission is to inspire kids to develop the skills needed for a healthy lifestyle through the promotion of physical fitness through play and healthy eating habits. 

  

H.I.P. Kids impacts the community with two outreach projects: Go! Play Adventure and Kids in the Kitchen.  

  

 

  

The Go! Play Adventure initiative is designed to encourage play among families in an effort to get kids up and active, as well as promote nature play.
