Building Our Living Well Community
Princeton Living Well (PLW) is a multifaceted healthy lifestyle project designed to promote diabetes prevention, weight control, and general wellness throughout the entire Princeton community. Because PLW involves all segments of the community – residents, retail businesses, restaurants, healthcare providers, and local organizations – your relationship with PLW can really make a difference to our community and to a healthier future for individuals in the Princeton area.
How can you get involved? There are many ways you can contribute to building a “Living Well” community. Decide which one is best for you!
Become a Member
When you register as a Basic Member, you have access to all the information and tools on the PLW website and the opportunity to connect with the community. PLW will help you achieve a healthier lifestyle by providing the support of the real-world community where you live and work.
Write for Us
If you would like to share your health, nutrition, and fitness knowledge and experience with the PLW community, please contact us. We're always on the look out for new authors. Simply email us, telling us what you would like to write about and a little about yourself and your experience. We will get back to you within two weeks.
Start an Activity
Activities are walks, runs, rides, hikes, and any other healthy smaller group hobbies or leisure time pursuits. Activities are the “legs” of PLW, integrating movement and physical fitness into daily routines.
The best way to start or organize an activity is to use the PLW Forums. Post a message in the appropriate forum with the activity details – date, time, description, audience/age group (adult, teen, children, or family), experience level (beginner, intermediate, advanced), meeting place, directions, contact information (name, address, email address), and any other facts or features. Please allow at least a week before the activity.
Host an Event
Events are large group occasions, organized activities, fairs, sports for a cause, and educational programs that focus on healthy lifestyles. Events are the “heart and soul” of PLW, integrating information, healthy eating, and physical activity to help individuals and the community achieve healthier lives.
If you’re hosting an event, we would like to post it on our Community Calendar. Simply suggest an event, telling us the date, time, description, audience/age group (adult, teen, children, or family), experience level (beginner, intermediate, advanced), location, directions, contact information (name, address, email address), and any other facts or features. Please allow at least two weeks before the event.
Motivate the Community
This community health program needs your help. You can help build a Living Well community by spreading the word. Tell your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers about PLW. Bring a friend to an event. Refer a friend – simply give us a name and email address – so we can contact the person directly. Help us stimulate and motivate the community to eat well, be fit, and live well.
Volunteer in the Community
You can help build a Living Well community by volunteering – at health fairs and events, in community gardens, and for local organizations. Many Princeton area non-profit organizations are looking for volunteers. If you want to volunteer your time and talent, see our Looking for Volunteers listings. Get involved, help the community, and connect with other Princeton-area residents.
Become a Partner or Sponsor
PLW partners are restaurants, retailers, and local profit and non-profit organizations that work closely with the PLW Team to implement the program in the community.
A PLW sponsor is a business and private or community organization that receives acknowledgement for financial support of the PLW program, an event, a campaign, or an area on the PLW website. Sponsorship packages and commitment levels vary, and they can be customized.
To become a partner or sponsor, contact the PLW Team by email or at:
