Kentucky State University Receives Kids Run the Nation Grant
Kentucky State University’s Promising Youth Center For Excellence has received a 2023-24 academic year Kids Run the Nation Grant in the amount of $750 to implement a youth running program as part of its afterschool program.
Children and Youth in the program will run at least two days when they come to the center after school weekly for at least 10 to 15 minutes. The goal of the Road Runners Club of America is to promote health and wellness by providing financial assistance to running clubs, schools, and community-based nonprofits interested in implementing or currently hosting running programs.
According to Dr. Herman E. Walston, Professor in Child Development and Family Relations, Mr. David Fowler, Jr. will oversee the operation of the program.
