The Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Program (CCROPP) helps to create healthier communities in the San Joaquin Valley that support healthy eating and active living.  CCROPP is among a growing number of programs in the nation who use a policy and environmental change approach to help community members gain access to healthy food, beverages and safe places to be physically active. At the core of CCROPP is an important leadership training program (Powerful People: Building Leadership for Healthy Communities), in which local residents gain the critical skills and tools to take on leadership roles and help to create healthier communities.

SHORT VIGNETTES SHED LIGHT ON LEADERS CREATING CHANGE IN CALIFORNIA'S CENTRAL VALLEY
 

In the Central Valley, grassroots leaders are transforming their environments into places that support healthy eating and active living. A collection of short vignettes document how they have been successful. The colorful vignettes were developed as a special project of the Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Program and produced by Valley PBS. They build upon the strength of community advocacy and leadership as an effective approach to obesity prevention.
