PROGRAMS
HealthCorps programs take innovative approaches to health and wellness and are tailored to each community in order to strengthen teens to become more physically and mentally resilient.
Health with Teens in Mind
HealthCorps programs meet teens where they are — at a peak point of mind and body development, with growing curiosity, autonomy, and influence, and – for too many – in communities impacted with health disparities. We partner with communities to engage young people as change-makers to achieve better health outcomes — now and for years to come.
Over the past two decades, we developed a model grounded in research and practice to create REAL results with NEAR-PEER mentoring and innovative approaches to health and wellness.
Our year-long, school and community center-based programs utilize local college-aged mentors to deliver HealthCorps' evidence-based curriculum and health-promoting events focused on mental health, nutrition, and physical activity.
