Making a Difference in Your Community

Wellspring establishes local after-school programs by partnering with selected:

• Schools
• Local government
• Community organizations
• Faith-based organizations
• Healthcare providers
• Corporate and non-profits

These institutions, led by forward-thinking individuals who want to tackle the obesity epidemic head-on, are called our Community Partners.

What the Community Partner Receives

With Wellspring Community Programs, communities receive:

• Local program managers
• Local, highly-trained clinical staff
• Community outreach
• Collaboration with community leaders

Wellspring is a recognized, proven leader of weight loss programs, giving your children, teens, and young adults the opportunity to improve fitness and weight. Our program, built on decades of scientific research and the hard work of Dr Daniel S. Kirschenbaum and our Scientific Advisory Board, is working every day in our boarding schools, summer camps, and other community programs to help youth lose weight and keep it off.

What the Wellspring Partner Provides

We work closely with our partners to ensure a smooth implementation and, most importantly, that we find dedicated teens and young adults who are ready to improve their fitness and weight. WCP works with the Wellspring Partner to establish a minimum of two weekly after-school sessions, typically lasting 3 hours per session.

The Wellspring Partner provides access to facilities, including:

• Meeting rooms or classrooms for therapy sessions, nutrition courses, and community gatherings
• Kitchen facilities for culinary training and meals
• Indoor and outdoor fitness areas or gymnasiums for activities

While not all of these areas need be in the same building, they should be in close proximity in order to provide participants with the comprehensive program that guarantees success.

From these facilities, participants will visit local grocery stores and restaurants, practicing skills on selecting healthy items. We will explore varied fitness and outdoor activities, depending on available local community options.
