Services for Families
The GoKids™ Boston center was developed in collaboration with the world renowned Children's Hospital Boston. Through this collaboration, as well as by partnering with community health centers in and around the City and with the Boston Public School system, we offer an entirely new resource that helps improve healthy lifestyles in kids and adolescents. Our primary goal is to provide participants with personalized instruction and support to become more physically active, improve fitness, eat nutritiously, and gain self-confidence.
Our collaborations allow us to serve youth with a wide variety of medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, obesity, asthma, cancer, and congenital heart disease) or other physical or intellectual concerns. We simultaneously serve healthy children and teens who want to improve fitness and young athletes who desire to achieve peak sports performance. Also, consistent with the University's urban mission, we will emphasize reducing health-disparities in underserved families.
