Our Impact

The goal is to increase participation and opportunities for physical activities, prioritizing neighborhoods and communities afflicted by health disparities. The real impact is being present in these communities; engaging with the people. We want the people living in these communities to not only want to get fit, but want more of these opportunities in their communities to help them achieve those goals. Here's how we prepare to get it done.

Before we went out into the streets, we had to think about which streets we wanted to hit. When you think of health and wealth disparities, what kind of neighborhoods or communities come to mind? We identified four different areas in Greater Seattle that are being affected by either or both of these disparities.

Throughout the summer we’ve gone to different parks, community events and festivals. Everyone who has come and taken part in at least one of the Rec’N The Streets activities all said they enjoyed it. Not only have we found a way to bring fun to those who need it, but we’ve found a way to incorporate fitness and health into it as well.
