Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $4.2 million spent. AT THE CORE OF HEALTHCORPS' WORK IS A SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL IDEA: MEET TEENS WHERE THEY ARE. THE ORGANIZATION EMBEDS TRAINED NEAR-PEER MENTORS IN SCHOOLS TO DELIVER HANDS-ON LESSONS AND LEAD STUDENT-DRIVEN ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON NUTRITION, PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, AND MENTAL RESILIENCE. MENTORS NOT ONLY TEACH, BUT ALSO COACH AND CONNECT, MAKING HEALTH EDUCATION APPROACHABLE AND RELEVANT.STUDENTS ENGAGE THROUGH WEEKLY CLUBS, SCHOOL-WIDE EVENTS, AND SERVICE PROJECTS THAT REINFORCE HEALTHY HABITS AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS THAT THEY CAN CARRY WITH THEM FOR LIFE. MEANWHILE, TEACHERS GAIN CRITICAL SUPPORT, SCHOOLS BENEFIT FROM STRONGER ENGAGEMENT, AND RIPPLE EFFECTS BRING STRONGER WORKFORCE PREPAREDNESS AND HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY.RIGOROUS EVALUATION HAS BEEN CENTRAL TO HEALTHCORPS SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN 2003 -INDEPENDENT EVALUATIONS AND STUDENT SURVEYS CONSISTENTLY SHOW THAT HEALTHCORPS WORKS. TO ENSURE THE PROGRAM'S FIDELITY, STUDENTS ARE EVALUATED EACH YEAR 84% OF HEALTHCORPS STUDENTS IMPROVED IN AT LEAST ONE TARGETED HEALTH BEHAVIOR(I.E. EXERCISING MORE, EATING HEALTHIER, FEELING HAPPIER) DURING THE '24 '25 SCHOOL YEAR.
