Take Action! TimelineActivity Phase
Conduct activities and workshops
These activities and workshops should support the goals of the Take Action! program (e.g., healthy cooking demonstrations, disease prevention and early detection lectures, or demonstrations of physical activities such as tai chi, yoga, or different types of dances).
Provide ongoing support to Team Captains
Have regular communication with the Team Captains to respond to any problems or questions as they arise. This approach will help to maintain the Team Captains' enthusiasm for the program.
Reward participants
Individual participants should receive incentive prizes throughout the 10 weeks to recognize progress toward their goals and continued participation in the program. Team Captains should be encouraged to recognize the participants on their Teams.
Celebrate
At the end of the program, conduct a fun activity to celebrate the progress everyone has made. This is a good time to award the final prizes and recognize Teams.
