WHO WE ARE

Active Youth Wisconsin (the parent nonprofit of Tri 4 Schools) is a nonprofit committed to providing accessible opportunities for kids to be active in a generation when they move less than ever.

 

Our initiatives foster inclusivity, promote self-confidence, work ethic and positive peer interactions so that all children, regardless of background, can benefit from the physical and mental health advantages that regular activity provides.

WHAT WE DO

By promoting active lifestyles, teamwork, and a positive approach to challenges, Active Youth Wisconsin is laying the foundation for a healthier future generation.

Core Initiatives:

1. After school programs
2. Events
3. School grants
4. Financial support for kids

HOW IT WORKS

Active Youth Wisconsin hosts three multisport events, known as the Tri 4 Schools series. The series includes the Waunakee Kids Triathlon, the Madison Bike+Run, and the Middleton Kids Triathlon. Every dollar of the entry fee is donated directly to the child's school.

Each year, Active Youth Wisconsin provides thousands of dollars to Dane County physical education budgets. This funding is allowing teachers to enhance the educational opportunities for their students.

EVENTS

Multisport events can play a pivotal role in encouraging kids to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle. Our events offer kids a fair, safe, and fun opportunity to be active.

The multisport events offer multiple distances to support kids of all ability levels. Kids cross the finish line with a smile, build confidence and learn that they can do hard things!

AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS

Afterschool programs provide a structured and safe environment for children to engage in activities that go beyond the traditional classroom setting. The 8-10 week Training Team and 6-week Minds and Motion programs are hosted at the child's school and culminates by completing a Tri 4 Schools event or 5k fun run.

Through swimming, biking and running, kids learn essential life skills including teamwork, discipline, goal-setting and sportsmanship.

SCHOOL GRANTS

By providing grants to schools, we support the creation and enhancement of health and wellness initiatives within the educational system.

Schools can use these grants to purchase equipment, participate in unique activities, and implement wellness programs. This infusion of resources empowers schools to prioritize the overall well-being of their students and integrate health-focused activities into their curriculum.

FINANCIAL AID & EQUIPMENT

Active Youth Wisconsin believes that every child deserves the opportunity to be active.

Our events and programs have a no-questions-asked financial aid policy to allow all children to participate. Scholarships are given to children to participate for free. Active Youth Wisconsin also provides bikes, helmets, shoes, clothing, and other essential gear when needed.
