National Dairy Council

As a leader in child nutrition and education, the National Dairy Council provides sound nutrition information for school professionals, thought leaders, children and families. Like Action for Healthy Kids, the National Dairy Council believes that schools are an ideal place for kids to learn and practice good nutrition.

Our long-standing partnership with the National Dairy Council focuses on two primary goals:

1. Support healthy school environments by promoting healthy foods and physical activity through programs, such as Fuel Up To Play 60, Game On, ReCharge! and Students Taking Action; and
2. Provide national leadership and collaboration to support initiatives to address childhood obesity in schools.

Through multi-year grants, as well as the vital involvement of local Dairy Council staff on Action for Healthy Kids’ state teams, the National Dairy Council has advanced our mission and our ability to achieve these goals. During the 2009-2010 school year alone, Dairy Council support was instrumental in Action for Healthy Kids’ making a difference for nearly 4.5 million students in 9,200 schools.
