TRY THIS MISSION STATEMENT:
​
“Try This aims to help knock West Virginia off the top of the worst health lists, community by community, by building a statewide grassroots network of healthy-community leaders who expand opportunities for physical activity and/or healthy food in their communities."
​
To help make that happen, Try This:
-
offers minigrants to community teams for projects that expand physical activity, healthy food or active mindfulness in their communities
​
-
brings healthy-community leaders together to inspire each other and trade ideas both in-person and virtually, like at our annual Conference and our Regional Gatherings
​
-
supplies extensive "how to" information for project ideas, leadership training, grant writing, project management, and more
​
-
builds skills and confidence in emerging healthy-community leaders through minigrants, resources, connections, and support
​
-
maintains active social media to ensure our network stays connected
​
-
partners with a wide variety of like-minded organizations that can collaborate and multiply efforts statewide​
