Overview of Idea

HEALTHCLASS2.0 (HC2.0) is a path-breaking public-school program empowering children and their communities to engage in new conversations and inspired action around health, food and exercise, and to bring about transformation in their own lives and the world around them.

The Specifics: What will the $5,000 fund?

$5,000 will enable us to originate a media identity for HC2.0 by funding a “sizzle reel” of our work. In just one year, we have reached over 200 NYCDOE students, and are poised to nearly double that this summer through expansion to summer camps and other community sites. It is difficult to verbally explain our work – combining exercise with positive affirmations, consuming a healthful snack, engaging in food conversations that empower students to be change agents both in their personal nutrition and the food systems around them – and we know we could impact even more young people with a short reel showing classes, discussions with the founders, our DOE students, and our college leaders. This would be key to expanding our social impact.
