Did you know...

· Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the U.S. in the past 30 years.

· In 2008, more than one third of children and adolescents in the U.S. were overweight or obese.

· Obese youth are more likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure, are more likely to have pre-diabetes, are at greater risk for bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, and social and psychological problems such as stigmatization and poor self-esteem.

· Children and adolescents who are obese are likely to be obese as adults and are therefore more at risk for adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and osteoarthritis.

Apply to become apart of Weill Cornell's MAChO Program and help educate and inspire children (8-13) in East Harlem to take control of their health and begin to change these statistics! What is MAChO?

MAChO is a holistic and innovative behavioral program designed to combat the childhood obesity epidemic at the grassroots level. The program targets adolescents living in underserved communities. Our aim is to incite lasting change by teaching adolescents about the importance of nutrition, fitness and personal development, to empower them to take control of their health and their lives. Our immediate focus is not only on making healthier choices, but also on instilling key values and skills which can be applied throughout one's lifetime. An overview of the MAChO program is attached for your perusal.

As we prepare for our spring semester and expand MAChO's scope of impact within the community, we are looking to fill new positions in the organization, as well as solidify our teaching/mentoring staff for the coming spring. Attached is a list of positions for which we are currently accepting applications. Below you will find our Spring Volunteer Application, which we'd like completed by December 2nd.

Within the application, we ask for your current availability to schedule an interview. Interviews will be held at Weill Cornell Medical College (69th and York). Details as to the scheduled time and location for your interview will follow once you have completed and submitted your application.

Again, please submit the application by December 2nd. Feel free to contact us at [log in to unmask] with any questions or concerns. We look forward to discussing your future role as a MAChO volunteer!

Sincerely,

MAChO Team
