We focus on smoking cessation, youth leadership, physical fitness, sports, recreation, and nutrition.Empowering individuals to make quality choices is our goal.How we adjusted our Program to deal with COVID-19:Needless to say, COVID-19 has thrown everyone a curve ball.

When we started on Facebook we received 197 views on our very firstpost. This was a very surprising and encouraging start. Going forward we easily averaged 110 views each post.We have received direct feedback from participants who were very motivated by these workouts. We were ableto go a step further and have community members lead out in workouts, the idea being to have folks encourageeach other, especially in these times of COVID-19. Jennifer Kohoko, Justin Penasse and Maria Jacko were kindenough to participate in these online sessions which were very well received. We look forward to doing more ofthese in the future.Key Highlights of Program:• A very positive online presence has been established.• Live real time response / feedback has been awesome.• All age groups have been participating. Our biggestsurprise is how much our seniors enjoy the workouts.Statistics:• We have had 431 direct service users• Our email contact list is at 537 active and interestedparticipants• The OFIFC is in the process of revamping the UAHLPmethod of statistics gathering.
