P.I.G.F.A.T.

Join the Movement...... P. I. G. F. A. T

At this year's Congressional City Conference in Washington, DC, youth from around the country developed a new initiative to focus on at the local and national level. Positive Initiatives and Goals For America’s Tomorrow (P. I . G . F . A . T . ) represents the promotion of positive healthy lifestyle choices for youth.

The national goal for the P . I . G . F . A . T . initiative is to decrease the use of drugs and alcohol, reduce teen pregnancy and combat obesity by increasing options and raising awareness of the consequences of risky healthy choices.

Youth Councils are being charged with the local goal of hosting various social events, gatherings and informative workshops that will raise awareness about these issues. You have the opportunity to decide how you will achieve this in your own community.
