Since the 1990s, the importance of the out-of-school time programming for children and youth grew in response to the needs of working families, concerns about challenging youth behaviors, and poor academic performance. There is a consensus on the belief that there are social and emotional benefits for children and youth who participate in high-quality after school programming. The social and emotional outcomes associated with after school program participation include increased self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-efficacy, decreased behavior problems, improved communication skills, as well as an enhanced ability to effectively interact with peers and adults. (Little et. al, 2007).
B Inspired Philadelphia is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization leading the movement to empower youth to be active players in creating a healthier future. We partner with non-profits, schools, after-school programs and youth organizations to provide our wellness program that teaches and promotes healthy choices and active lifestyles using existing enrichment experiences and providing opportunities in wellness, athletics, arts, and community engagement.
Partnership
We partner with kids and like-minded organizations to empower them to be the drivers in creating a healthier future.
Play
We create fun and positive learning experiences to increase ability, intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy.
Education
We educate about wellness, including fitness and nutrition, to equip kids with awareness, knowledge, and skills to increase their ability to create a healthier future.
B Inspired Philadelphia makes fitness and education fun and easy. We recognize that each school/organization has different needs, goals, and resources. One size does not fit all, and we believe the same for our program. Whether you are looking for weekly classes or a one-day workshop, we will personally work with you to develop the optimal program for your school/organization.
All B Inspired Philadelphia coaches have been trained in our researched based model. In addition, they go through a rigorous and ongoing training in curriculum development, education techniques, and crowd management strategies.
B Inspired Philadelphia collaborates with the organization to determine the best schedule to accommodate the maximum number of participants. We organize indoor and outdoor sessions to meet any space constraints an organizations may have.
To engage participants in the program, B Inspired Philadelphia structures its program with age-appropriate play and education. Our founders work closely with the coaches, gathering feedback and fine tuning curriculum to ensure that each session becomes progressively tailored to the participants.
B Inspired Philadelphia provides all equipment and materials for the sessions. If the organization wishes to use its own equipment to supplement the activities, B Inspired Philadelphia instructors can coordinate with staff to use their equipment.
B Inspired Philadelphia believes having fun is the key to success of the program. By combining education with play, we are committed to creating fun learning experiences that will increase intrinsic motivation and self-confidence.
