Fit and Strong! Leader Resources
Update on CDSME Program Funding and Reporting
The 2021 Administration for Community Living (ACL) grant to the Illinois Pathways to Health (ILPTH) Initiative has concluded.
If you are facilitating F&S workshops under other current funding received from AgeOptions, please continue to register your workshops and submit participant data through the ILPTH website.
If you are not currently funded by AgeOptions but continue to offer F&S workshops, we still strongly encourage you to register your workshops and submit participant data and pre/post surveys.
Doing so benefits everyone involved:
- Increased visibility: AgeOptions has invested in media campaigns—including commercials, banner ads, redirecting, and geofencing—to raise public awareness of ILPTH workshops and enhance your organization’s visibility.
- Leader support: We monitor leader certifications and will notify you when renewal is needed.
- Access to technical assistance: Ongoing support from AgeOptions is available for your workshops.
- Data Reports: You'll receive access to both workshop-level data and participant survey reports.
- Support for future funding: Data collection strengthens AgeOptions' proposals for continued statewide health promotion funding.
If you would like to submit participant data but will not be entering it directly into ILPTH, email forms to joan.fox@ageoptions.org.
