Why Partnerships Matter

We could not support America’s schools and students without the partnership of corporations, foundations, philanthropic organizations and individual donors. Organizations that partner with GENYOUth support our programs and initiatives to provide schools and students with critical resources to advance health and wellness initiatives, while also reinforcing their commitments to purpose, social responsibility, community and employee engagement.

In partnership with our valued partners, GENYOUth provides school grants, equipment and skill-building opportunities for students to improve health and wellness to be their personal best.
