Believing that physical activity and health are cornerstones in positive development among youth, Sport in Society has created a focus area dedicated to physical activity and health. It is comprised of Kevin W. Fitzgerald Urban Youth Sports (FitzUYS) programs that create physical activity opportunities to strengthen both mind and body. These programs also offer educational activities to empower young people to be participants in promoting positive social change. Sport in Society?s core values of social justice, sport, healthy development, and education are emphasized through this programming and in the research that supports it.
