Making Strides to
BETTER HEALTH
A COLLABORATION WITH THE YMCA OF
SOUTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA WILL BRING
WELLNESS PROGRAMS TO COLUMBUS COUNTY.
Diabetes, low self-esteem and obesity are just a few of the challenges
children in Columbus County face due to a lack of exercise and a lack
of interaction with friends and positive mentors. Based on feedback
from a recent YMCA Community Needs Survey, local leaders have
formed the Columbus County YMCA Steering Committee, which
is launching programs that will offer children the opportunity to
improve their physical, emotional and mental health.
"Children in local schools are susceptible to being negatively
impacted by circumstances such as drug abuse, neglect and violence,"
says Lauren Cole, chair of the committee. "By offering these programs,
we are trying to do as much as we can, as early as we can, so our
kids feel good about themselves and have the guidance they need to
develop positive self-esteem and make good decisions."
