HealthMPowers

Imagine a future where all children are nourished and active.

At HealthMPowers, we serve hundreds of thousands of children in under-resourced communities across the state of Georgia. Our work is focused on making sure kids can eat healthy, nutritious foods and engage in regular physical activity. 

The Truth Is Startling:

Our work together is rooted in empowering youth to take control of their health because no child should go without food. No child should face a day without an opportunity to move and be active. And no child should ever have to face the realization that the color of their skin may act as a barrier to good health. Health should never be a barrier to a child realizing their full potential and living out their dreams.  

Highlights of what your generous investment will support: 

• Girls Empowering Movement (GEM) – We’ve launched a first-in-the-nation, girl-led initiative focused on building leadership skills, positive mental health habits and physical activity in middle schools across Georgia.
•  Student Health Advocate Program – We’re training thousands of students annually to advocate for change in their schools and communities to enable healthier choices among their peers.
• Reach for the Stars Learning Collaborative – We’re working alongside early care educators to transform wellness policies and practices within the early care setting to create healthy environments for children ages 0-5. 

About Us

HealthMPowers promotes healthy habits to build a better future for children. By integrating nutrition education and physical activity into schools, early care centers, and out of school time sites, the settings where children spend their time, we create a culture that supports lifelong healthy lifestyle choices for children, families and communities.

Because of the support of individual donors and sponsors like you, HealthMPowers has grown from serving eight schools and 8,761 students to serving 795 schools and centers and approximately 335,344 students today.
