Since its launch in 2014, 8,176 students and families have earned memberships. Now active in 21 schools, CA Points offers year‑round access to fitness centers, aquatics, ice skating, group exercise, and recreational programming. The program has become a sustainable, scalable model for improving community health through collaboration, accountability, and equitable access.

CA Points includes a range of school‑connected activities and services that include everything from on‑site Hour of CA Play fitness experiences to ice rink field trips, roller‑skating events, swim lesson raffles, and fitness demonstrations at school and community events. Schools work closely with CA to verify eligibility, track participation, and host activities including an annual CA Points Party. The results include a 100% membership activation rate and an estimated 80% use rate.

The program strengthens family‑level health behaviors, increases youth physical activity, and fosters long‑term engagement with community wellness resources. Families gain access to safe, welcoming environments that encourage movement and social connection, while students build physical literacy and confidence across a variety of activities.

CA invests heavily in the program, contributing nearly $1 million annually in membership value, staffing, facility use, and programming. Grant funding will help expand enrichment opportunities such as swim lessons, school skate parties, tennis programs, and arts‑based classes—enhancing the program’s reach and impact for families who need it most.
