Fit2Lead Group 1-2
Each park serves anywhere from 2 to 9 feeder schools within these neighborhoods (a target population of 34 000 youth residents aged 12-17 years), and transportation from schools to parks is provided at no cost within a 3-mile radius of a program park. Fit2Lead participants can also enroll in the MDPROS youth summer camp at no charge. Work assignments support MDPROS operations and recreation staff. Interns in Phase II rotate every 8 weeks for exposure to different job opportunities, supervisors, and mentors. Duke is conducting a secondary data analysis on data collected as part of the Fit2Lead study.
