GENYOUth is privileged to be the beneficiary and host of a series of events that raise awareness of our mission, and of the need of essential funding to help ensure children are well-nourished and physically active to be their best selves. In addition, we convene and participate in health, nutrition, and other forums, along with school events, where we share insights, elevate the voice of our National Youth Council, and showcase the impact of our programs and initiatives that are made possible with the support of purpose-minded partners.
