By raising their voices and inspiring their peers to live healthier lives, young people across the nation are leading the fight against childhood obesity. Twenty-five of these exceptional young people have been selected to serve on the 2010-11 Youth Advisory Board for the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.

The tweens and teens are leading the way in their communities and among their peers as they spread the word about the importance of healthy living through the Alliance's empowerME Movement. The empowerME Movement – 3 million young people and growing – is a "by kids, for kids" initiative inspiring all kids to make healthy behavior changes and to become leaders and advocates for healthy eating and physical activity.
