Step U.P. Program
Focus
The NSSA was founded with a focus on
youth. In 2007, the NSSA partnered
with the HBCU Wellness Project,
Metro (Nashville) Health Department,
and the Metro (Nashville) Parks
Department to create the “Step U.P.
to Health” youth step team program
in Nashville/Davidson County. The
NSSA was part of the community
collaborative that received a two
year $500,000 grant from the State
of Tennessee’s Department of Health
for program expansion, using
stepping as a way to fight sedentary
activity and childhood obesity with
middle school aged children.
The Step U.P. Program (U.P. stands
for “Unlimited Potential”) has
stepping as a component of the
program, but consists of health
education, academic support, and
community service. If you would be
interested in learning about
bringing the Step U.P. program to
your community email the NSSA at
contactus@stepshow.org.
