OUR MISSION
Helping Schoolchildren Thrive By Living Well-Nourished and Physically Active Lives
Purpose & Impact
GENYOUth, a national nonprofit, is the trusted catalyst for school wellness solutions that deliver measurable impact. Over 40 million students in 76,000 school communities have benefited from our work to ensure every child has what they need to be nourished, active, connected, and ready to thrive.
Our efforts impact students nationwide.
Fostering Nutrition Security
Ending Student Hunger
One in five children in America struggles with food insecurity, making school meals a priority. But school meals aren’t just for breakfast, lunch, after school, or over the summer — they’re a lifeline for a brighter future. GENYOUth provides critical resources that ensure every student gets the nutrition they need to show up, focus, and thrive.
Empowering Youth to Move
Increasing Access to Physical Activity
Fewer than one in four children gets the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity each day, with girls at special risk. But schools can provide safe, equitable environments for kids to learn and play. GENYOUth brings equipment to schools, inspiring a love of physical activity and increasing access to, and participation in, physical activity for 18 million students.
Advancing Student Perspectives
Elevating Youth Voice
Students say it best: “If it’s about us, don’t do it without us.” GENYOUth collaborates with students and amplifies what they tell us about their health, their needs, and their future – the better to serve them.
