LIFT - Levántate was founded to specifically address the health and wellness issues confronting families in lower socioeconomic communities in our country, especially Latinos and African-Americans who suffer from the highest rates.
Our vision for America is that every child in our underserved communities will lead a life of health, wellness and vitality.
After evaluating what is currently available nationwide, the founders of LIFT - Levántate discovered few, if any, existing comprehensive nutritional and fitness programs that focus on lifeskills training, include a viable family component, and utilize innovative technologies. It was also apparent no program exists of this scope that is bi-lingual and culturally sensitive, which motivated us to create "Levántate!" a component of LIFT - Levántate tailored to Hispanic communities.
