Partner Certification Program

The Mayor’s Fitness Council (MFC) Partner Certification Program is a mutually beneficial worksite wellness recognition program for Austin-based organizations of all types and sizes. It was created by the MFC in 2007 in an effort to inspire nutrition, physical activity and tobacco-free living in worksite environments. By becoming either an MFC Standard or Gold Certified Partner, organizations get recognition for implementing comprehensive, promising practices and evidence-based worksite policies.

In order to remain in good standing, organizations must get recertified every two years.
