Programming & support offered by OAA
At OAA, our commitment extends beyond any single initiative to a diverse portfolio of programs designed to foster growth, empowerment, and lasting positive change within the communities we serve. Through strategic partnerships with local organizations, OAA delivers educational opportunities for youth through Awareness Bound, supports accessible wellness and movement through Walk-n’-Roll, and provides brand-new athletic shoes—intentionally aligned with the eight dimensions of wellness—to youth and community members in need through Sole Connections. Collectively, these programs reflect our dedication to holistic development, emphasizing the interconnected importance of well-being, education, physical activity, and social connection. All programming is guided by teaching methods rooted in the Health Autonomy Method, empowering individuals to take ownership of their health, choices, and future.

The Awareness Bound Health and Wellness Leadership Program, developed by OAA, aims to empower young adults by providing them with essential health and wellness education to take charge of their present and future well-being. OAA is committed to bridging youths with local free and reduced-fee community resources, ensuring access to vital support systems. We offer an 8-week program that offers 45 minutes of health and wellness education, with a focus on the 8 dimensions of wellness, coupled with 45 minutes of targeted movement.
​The ultimate objective of OAA is to equip each young community leader with valuable resources and knowledge, empowering them to not only prioritize their own health but also to share this wisdom with their families and peers. By doing so, they become advocates for wellness within their communities, embodying the ethos of
"Each one, reach one. Each one, teach one."
