Healthy Foods, Healthy Moves: InForm Chicago
Healthy Foods, Healthy Moves: InForm Chicago built healthier communities by promoting the importance of good nutrition and physical activity to Chicago youth of all ages in both school and community settings. It was a partnership between Communities In Schools of Chicago (CISC) and
CLOCC and was funded by a grant from PepsiCo Foundation. InForm Chicago worked to reduce child overweight in Chicago using CLOCC's healthy
lifestyle message - 5-4-3-2-1 Go! - promoted in a variety of settings. This unique project trained teens, school staff, and neighborhood program providers to be nutrition and physical activity message ambassadors to support good choices for a healthy lifestyle.

The Chicago Faith-based Advocacy Initiative to Transform Health (Chicago FAITH) will bring together diverse denominations into a coalition focused on the role of faith communities in childhood obesity prevention.
