It all started with a club
Walt Whitman High School’s Body Positive Alliance chapter led by Cate Navarrete, Jan. 2021.
In 2019, our founder, Cate Navarrete, started Body Positive Alliance as a high school club. During that time, Cate was struggling with body image. She wanted to create a space where her peers as well as herself could learn to love and appreciate their bodies. Our chapters are the pinnacle of our programming, currently spanning across 13 states (including Washington, D.C.) With over 1,200 chapter members nationally, we’re one of the largest providers for young people to engage with the body-positive movement.
