Today, more and more organizations dedicated to improving youth's health are popping up. With a consistent rise in childhood obesity in America, TUSI also wants to help improve the physical and mental health of participating Pioneers. This program area engages Pioneers in physical activities that shape their disposition and perspective.  These Activities are those that aren't typically accomplished at home, during school or at a community center. To express your interest, or receive more information, fill out a “Get Involved” form!

For instance, here is a quick list of ideas for Activities that TUSI seeks to provide for its Pioneers:

  1. Kayaking or canoeing on the Hudson River through the Hudson River Park Trust

  2. Learning how to play lacrosse with an instructional session from the Atlanta Blaze.

  3. Hiking and fishing in the Lakes Regional Park Reserve during a weekend camping outing. 

Any organization or establishment that wishes to provide an excellent learning and physical activity to TUSI Pioneers should read the Requirements and Expectations below! Feel free to contact TUSI with any questions.
