Help us reach more children
We are expanding our platform for 2025 to allow us to significantly scale the program. Together we can fight the Childhood Inactivity Epidemic.
Our ambitious goal is to make World Fit accessible to every school across the nation. To do this, we need to enhance our platform, making it easier for administrators to use, more engaging for students, and seamless integration for buddies. Our plans include developing an iOS/Android app, adding exciting new features to gamify activities, and integrating with popular fitness trackers.
