The Teen Biggest Loser Contest was designed to do just that. And, it doesn’t require you to have a degree in nutrition science, or have a perfect diet, or be a fitness freak.

The money that the students make from their efforts is shared and used.

Share- We will educate the importance of sharing with students and how it will benefit them presently and in their futures. The students are encouraged to take 50% of their earnings and share it with their home church or a local charity of their choice. Our motto is: “Giving Is Generates A Better Feeling Than Receiving”

Save- Once the children have done their sharing they will now save the other 50% of their earnings and learn how to use it wisely. We will teach the students about ways they can use the money to make more money and how it can be used to further their education and skills.

If you have a child that is 12 years or older, this is the perfect program for them to learn the value of the internet and some of the best ways to sue the mighty dollar!

Children will earn “Healthy Bucks” when they make healthy food choices during meal times and while attending Dedicated To Youth Foundation programs.

The Healthy Bucks can be used to shop for some exciting prizes that will be donated by our local businesses.

One of the programs they earn healthy bucks in is our “Mystery Food” program that will allow their peers to aid them in trying foods that they have expressed they do not enjoy while being blindfolded.

We use the blindfold technique due to most children not eating foods due to how they “look” and not “taste” as the saying goes…”it’s all in the mind”.

Each time a student cooperates and agrees to try something they never had or claims they don’t like, they will earn healthy bucks.
