Volunteering will be an important part of the effort to keep Montgomery County’s kids fit and healthy. Be a part of the GetUp + Go! Team and help spread the word! Click here to register your interest.

Opportunities include:

Volunteering alongside your child is another great way to get both of you out and active, while setting a good example at the same time. Check with your local school, daycare or recreation center for volunteer opportunities. Let’s GetUp together!
