Fitness and exercise may strengthen the body, but they also build confidence and reduce stress. Join us for this conversation to learn about NIU's Project FLEX, and how it was launched to bring those benefits to the youth at the Illinois Youth Centers in Warrenville and St. Charles. We will hear from Dr. Jenn Jacobs and Dr. Zachary Wahl-Alexander, faculty in the College of Education, as well as their graduate students involved in this project to reach from beyond the walls of NIU with personal training and leadership development.

This session is part of the Real Talk & Big Ideas Series hosted by the Center for Nonprofit and NGO Studies at NIU. 

This is a free virtual event being held via Zoom and is open to all.
