September is Hunger Action Month!:
September is Hunger Action Month and listen here as GENYOUth’s CEO Ann Marie Krautheim. M.S., R.D., L.D. shares the harsh realities and challenges schools are facing, and how they need our help NOW to help End Student Hunger.
Too many American youth are inactive, undernourished, and unconnected. Students spend 180 days per year at school – yet schools are under resourced. But GENYOUth is equipping, engaging and empowering youth to make a difference!
Why? Because every child deserves to be healthy, with access to nutritious food and physical activity, as well as the opportunity to be their personal best.
Through innovative public-private partnerships GENYOUth:
Gives Youth a Voice; Enhances Nutrition and Physical Activity in Schools; Nurtures Youth Leadership and Workforce Readiness.
Food insecurity, food access challenges and the crisis in physical inactivity keep children from achieving their full potential. 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.
When students are given a voice, positive change happens.
GENYOUth CEO Ann Marie Krautheim and NFL Legend Drew Stanton talk about the launch of Mission 57: End Student Hunger, a community-based initiative tackling Arizona youth food insecurity leading up to Super Bowl LVII and Taste of the NFL.
