Creating Healthier School Communities

Through innovative public-private partnerships GENYOUth helps school children thrive by living well-nourished and physically active lives.

Food insecurity, food-access challenges, and the crisis in physical inactivity keep children from achieving their potential to be their best selves. GENYOUth addresses these challenges by collaborating with students, schools, communities, business partners, and thought leaders to identify and implement solutions – while always keeping students at the center of the conversation.
