About the Company

HealthCorps

National nonprofit educating teens on health

HealthCorps is a national nonprofit that works to reduce health inequity by educating and empowering teens to become change-agents in their families, schools, and neighborhoods. It delivers educational programming, leadership experiences, and service-learning opportunities to help today’s youth build physical and mental resilience. Programs are designed to be implemented in schools and communities, combining health education with hands-on activities and leadership development. Unlike organizations that target adults or rely on passive information, HealthCorps focuses on teens as active participants who can influence their own environments. The goal is to improve health outcomes and well-being across communities by equipping young people with knowledge, skills, and opportunities to lead health-promoting changes.
