We’re thrilled to announce Upower is a recipient of Best Starts for Kids Healthy and Safe Environments – a grant funded by King County to increase access to physical activity and create safe and health promoting environments.
This award guarantees a continued working relationship with Interagency Academy for the next 18 months, allowing us to retain a Upower staff member on-site at Southeast Campus and to expand our program offerings across several IA locations! A testament as to why our daily presence at Interagency is important:
“Monday was a desk day for me. Teachers and students dropped by to say hello, with some asking if I could teach a Upower class. Turned out some teachers were out sick that day and that created a disturbance in the much needed routine. It was great to be there to offer a last minute outlet for students as well as teachers.” – Kate Holman, Upower Program Director
