DSAL Health and Fitness Positive Impact Report, July - Sept. 2023
We are building a stronger and safer Alameda County through strategic investments in Health and Fitness programming and infrastructure guided by the Community Capitals Public Safety Framework, and we have the numbers to back it up in our latest Health and Fitness Report.
Ashland and Cherryland have a dramatic lack of opportunity for youth advancement. We fill that void by:
Providing training and experience in sports, which opens up new worlds for young people.
Giving developing youth structure and coping skills that serve them throughout their lives.
Teaching the importance of regular fitness for the body and mind.
Providing individuals with strong role models, a sense of belonging, and a supportive environment
We emphasize:
Good sportsmanship and positive attitude
Alternatives to anger and negative emotions
Pride, perseverance, and camaraderie
The spirit and heart in our coaches, mentors, and trainers is contagious. Young people grow into strong young adults who coach, mentor, and lead following generations into safer, healthier ways of existing. Our impact on our youths’ potential and the community at large multiplies with every life we serve.
