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

Try This motto: "It's up to us!"
