A partnership of the AMA and Ever Active Schools, the AMA Youth Run Club is a school-based, inclusive physical activity and healthy living program that has been bringing youth, school communities and AMA members together in health promotion since 2013.

How can I support the Youth Run Club?
As a physician, resident or medical student, you serve as a source of good health inspiration and education to your patients and communities. The YRC frequently has volunteer opportunities available for AMA members, such as giving a talk or facilitating a presentation on the value of physical activity/healthy living to students. During the pandemic, presentations and talks are taking place virtually.

AMA Youth Run Club ambassadors
In 2015, shortly after the Youth Run Club was introduced, we initiated an ambassador program. From our beginnings with Paula Findlay (Olympic Tri-Athlete) and Tim Berrett (Olympic Race Walker), the ambassador program has expanded to include many more outstanding athletes and representatives of sport in Alberta.
