Mission Statement
New York State mandates 120 minutes of physical activity per week for elementary school students, yet upto 96% New York City schools cannot meet this requirement. PEP provides schools with comprehensive PE and nutrition education programs by Certified PE instructors at low or no additional cost to schools. PEP programs are designed to address the infrastructure and scheduling challenges of each school, so that quality PE classes can be taught at lunch, recess or an additional period offered by the school.
Description

PEP’s philosophy is to make Physical Education holistic, inclusive, and accessible to every school-aged child.
