Active RVA Certification and Awards

Created in 2013, the Active RVA Certification and Awards program recognizes the Richmond region’s exceptional employers and schools that are implementing innovative programs to promote physical activity. Hundreds of organizations have earned Active RVA Certification for their embrace of active living.

An Active RVA-Certified School is an area early childhood education center, elementary, middle, or high school that adopts, supports, and engages physical activity as part of their school’s culture. Active RVA-Certified Schools support their students, faculty, staff, and their families to maximize their health and wellness through regular physical activity. By utilizing programs, infrastructure, and measurable results, Active RVA-Certified Schools provide meaningful pathways for the whole school community to get moving and get healthy.

Certified Workplaces and Schools will be recognized at the 2024 Active RVA Awards presented by Cigna on Friday, March 1. Program details will be sent to certified groups after the application deadline.

Certified companies and schools will receive a physical award to display in the office and a digital graphic to proudly show your commitment to health and wellness.
