There has been a major rise in depression, obesity, diabetes and ADHD in the United States. The underlying cause of much of this rise can be attributed to the more sedentary lifestyle of today’s generation, in particular our youth.
The solution, at least in part, is to get back to the more active lifestyles of our forebears. Many studies have linked being outdoors and active with improvements in overall physical and mental health.
To promote better well-being, health and participation in the outdoors.
To host, facilitate and promote events that get new people outdoors and to help build a social support network for participants. Pay It Forward Now will be a large supporter of mentoring efforts and will impact over 20,000 people annually.
