Trybers Get Moving
Funded by a grant from the Tennessee Department of Health through Project Diabetes, GoTrybe is now available to approximately 175,000 students and faculty in seventeen school districts. These school districts are located in GoTrybe’s home region of East Tennessee.
For those not in the know, GoTrybe is an online, interactive social community dedicated to the health and wellness of our youth. GoTrybe gets young people on the move by developing Active Screen Time™. “Trybers” can interact with fitness, nutrition, motivation and wellness content that supports their journey toward living healthfully. GoTrybe wants to be an inspiring force in the fight to get children and teens active while combating childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes. As a result, GoTrybe’s mission is to change some of the normal sedentary screen time into activity and health education. Gotrybe.com is composed of three Trybes: ZooDoos, up to 5th grade, Trybe180, 6th-9th grade and Nextrybe, 10th-12th grade.
