Creating healthy spaces for kids

OSNAP is a proven initiative that helps out-of-school-time programs (such as before- and afterschool programs and summer camps) improve practices and policies that promote increased physical activity and access to healthy snacks.

Get started:

This website has been developed by the Harvard Prevention Research Center on Nutrition & Physical Activity at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health to promote sustainable policy and environmental change in out-of-school-time programs so children have the opportunity to be active and eat healthfully every day.
This work and the Prevention Research Center on Nutrition and Physical Activity at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HPRC) is supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (1U48DP001946 and U48DP006376), including the Nutrition and Obesity Policy Research and Evaluation Network, as well as support from the Donald and Sue Pritzker Nutrition and Fitness Initiative and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (#66284).
