EDUCATING & EMPOWERING TEENS
At HealthCorps, we're working to eliminate health inequity by addressing inequities at the community level through educational programming, leadership experiences, and service learning.
Our Youth Need Our Help
This generation of teens is facing unprecedented challenges in their physical health, behavioral health, and social needs. ¹
​
Left unaddressed, this leads to an increased risk for mental illness, substance abuse, chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer, and a lower life expectancy.
What We Do
Combatting these stats, we provide teens with the tools to become more physically and mentally resilient. We empower young people to care for their social, emotional and physical health and to become change agents in their own communities — outcomes that benefit all.
