What Our Partners Say
“We must continue to stay focused on raising awareness, and providing solutions, for addressing food insecurity and the physical activity crisis that are adversely impacting millions of children across the nation. GENYOUth’s mission to end student hunger as well as its NFL FLAG-In-School program are two impactful examples of how the NFL and GENYOUth have been partnering in our response to these critical issues.”

Roger Goodell, Commissioner, National Football League, and GENYOUth Founding Board Member

“Domino’s has been honored to be a part of GENYOUth’s mission. It’s been rewarding for our employees, especially, to be able to work with and encourage young social entrepreneurs around solving real-world challenges. It turns out kids don’t just have questions – they have answers!”

Collaboration with Health & Wellness Partners

We work closely with, and tap into, the valuable expertise of, leading national organizations. Our Child Health & Wellness Advisory Council – representing health, nutrition, physical activity, education, and government leadership – has developed Guiding Principles for our youth wellness platforms that inform initiatives in support of nutrition and physical activity. The council meets quarterly and is indispensable in developing joint strategies/commitments that advance child health and wellness.
