A donation to Active SWV helps us reach every corner of our footprint. We thank you for your support to help continue this important work!
Imagine a child in a rural school lacing up their sneakers for the first time, excited to join a Kids Run Club made possible by your donation. Picture an older adult rediscovering the joy of walking with friends in a community-led walking group, improving both their health and their sense of belonging. Envision a volunteer stepping up to become a certified Community Captain, empowered with the training and resources needed to bring free fitness opportunities to their neighbors. These are the moments your generosity creates.
When you give to Active SWV, you’re not just funding fitness programs—you’re investing in stronger, healthier communities. Your support helps break down barriers to physical activity, ensuring that every child, family, and individual—regardless of age, income, or ability—has access to free programs that foster movement, connection, and well-being.
Volunteers are the heart of Active Southern West Virginia. There are many opportunities each year to volunteer.
Active Southern West Virginia is often adding profit share events with local businesses to the calendar. This is a great way to meet staff, support the organization, and have fun!
