“I believe that every child, in every school, has the right to be nourished, active and supported.”
Ann Marie Krautheim, CEO
Students Need Our Help!
America’s youth are our most precious resource. But too many are undernourished, inactive and unconnected. Schools are in crisis – under budgeted, overwhelmed, and unable to help children achieve their full potential. An entire generation of children is at risk, and they need our help!
GENYOUth works with schools, local communities, business partners and thought leaders to build impactful solutions that work.
Together we create powerful public-private partnerships that provide schools with critical equipment and resources to promote youth health and wellness. And we keep students at the center of the conversation, because when students are given a voice, positive change happens.
Join us to ensure that EVERY child has access to nutritious food, physical activity, and opportunities to be their personal best. Click here for GENYOUth’s 2022 Annual Report.
