Jump IN for Healthy Kids is a community-wide collective initiative dedicated to addressing childhood obesity in central Indiana. With a focus on providing real opportunities for children and families to make healthy choices, Jump IN is implementing evidence-based strategies to tackle the complex causes of the issue. In the early care and education sector, Jump IN works to incorporate nutrition and physical activity best practices into systems and environments statewide.

In schools, the initiative targets high-risk districts, collaborating with district and school leadership to create sustainable wellness policies and practices. Jump IN also plays a leading role in establishing an Indianapolis-wide infrastructure to support healthy food access, boost the food economy, and enhance food insecurity efforts. Staying true to their mission, Jump IN provides a range of resources to aid in the pursuit of healthier living, including a comprehensive resource hub, a blog, and informative news articles.
