At the center of every Partners for Active Living effort is the aim to educate and motivate our community and organization leaders to understand the health benefits of physical activity, to recognize the impact that community design has on our health and quality of life, and to pursue new strategies and practices supporting active environments.
Partnerships with a variety of local and state organizations have led to community trainings, workshops and conferences designed to build the capacity of our residents, government staff, organizational leaders and elected officials to create a healthy, active and truly livable Spartanburg.
