Her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, says the focus will be on the overall well-being of children, which Mrs. Trump has spoken about since becoming first lady.
Grisham adds that the first lady will concentrate on the range of issues children face growing up and will not tailor the initiative to a single topic.
