Mission

We approach health as making the best choices in all areas of life, including physical, mental, academic and financial. Through our model of total health we guide young people after high school and beyond to realize their future goals.

We strive to combat community deterioration and juvenile delinquency, improve the quality of education, health care and life-skills training offered to adolescence and young adults.

To further this purpose, we collaborate with non-profit organizations, schools, and community organizations to offer adolescence and young adults various programs and workshops in the areas of physical health, mental health, social/cultural education and life-skills.

Activities and workshops are carried out by H.E.A.L.T.H for Youths board of directors, officers, staff, and volunteers who are experts in their respective industries. Funding will come from government and foundation grants, corporations and private donations.
