The Power of Choice program was developed for after-school program leaders working with young adolescents (ages 11-13) by the Department of Health and Human Services' Food and Drug Administration and the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service. The Leaders' Guide, available on the website and in free hard copy for schools participating in USDA Child Nutrition Programs, contains everything necessary to understand and run a program. It is full of quick, simple things to do with kids and contains 10 interactive sessions. Included in the Leader's Guide are a recipe booklet, parent letter, and Nutrition Facts cards. The CD (also downloadable from the website) contains additional activities, tips for improved communication with adolescents, a training video for the adult leaders, and a song for pre-teens.
