What is the nrgBalance Zone Campaign?

The nrgBalance Zone Campaign is an annual program that assists school health leaders with fostering an environment that supports children eating well and being physically active.

Participating schools are publicly recognized as nrgBalance Zones and are equipped with programs, resources and outreach opportunities to promote good nutrition and active living to youth and families. Enrollment in the nrgBalance Zone Campaign is FREE. All Pennsylvania schools, K-12, both public and private, are eligible to enroll.
