Become a Partner

National and local organizations and corporations play a critical role in the effort to prevent childhood overweight by supporting programs that teach families healthy life habits.

The goal of the We Can!™ partnership is to build collaborations around preventive strategies and outreach efforts, as well as to leverage resources and communication channels to disseminate We Can! messages and materials to parents, caregivers, and youth ages 8–13 across the United States.

We Can! offers organizations and corporations two levels of involvement: full partnership like our National and Corporate Partners or a supporting role like our Supporting Organizations and Participating Corporations.

• National and Corporate Partners  
• Supporting Organizations and Participating Corporations

National and Corporate Partners

Supporting Organization and Participating Corporations

Supporting Organizations and Participating Corporations consist of groups that are very commited to getting involved, but unable to make as significant a commitment as National or Corporate Partners. These groups still reap benefits from participation in We Can!, including:

• Receive recognition as you join the trans-NIH national We Can! program
• Access to reproducible electronic versions of We Can! template materials for distribution to parents and youth together with permission to adapt them for distribution and use in organizational communication vehicles
• Recognition on We Can! Web site
• Access to informational updates on We Can! community and national program planning and implementation
