Get active and support youth in your community

May 1–15, 2026

Move for Youth is a free activity challenge with a goal to reach 1,500 participants, 75,000 kilometers, 150 million total steps, and $150,000 dollars! Every step you take creates opportunities for local kids to thrive.

By participating, you’ll make sure more kids have safe spaces to play, learn, and grow. From homework clubs to mental health services, you can help children in your community get what they need to succeed.

Get ready to move with us in May. Plus, if you or your team climb to the top of our fundraising and step leaderboards, you can win great prizes!
