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.

Volunteered to help out at at one and it was amazing! I loved hearing the students talk about how they are starting to make changes in their lifestyle that are affecting their wellbeing for the better! One girl even mentioned that her teachers are noticing the changes. It made my heart smile inside knowing that a difference can be made.

The discipline, courage, ambition, perseverance, ethic, and standard for success I took from exercising from a young age is what I attribute my unrelated professional success today. Sport and physical activity are crucial, and in our contemporary society, invaluable to any community. I encourage all to vote for this project, and regardless of the outcome, hope that there are more grant or donation opportunities for Healthclass2.0. Congratulations on a formidable project.

This program rocks!! I voted for it, because after observing one session in a high school gym, I was blown away. I saw first hand how students had been given the opportunity to burn calories on the spot, learn about their bodies and think critically about how to make healthier choices. The kids have a blast, and no doubt find it a challenging workout. We can all learn to love our bodies more, and Healthclass2.0 facilitates this learning with the age group that, I feel, needs it most. I had to get involved, and the least I can do is vote!

This is so wonderful for anyone - and kids need to build their self-esteem and learn good health habits and about just how great they can feel! Wonderful that it is being brought to our NYC students!

Love this idea and wished it would have existed when I went to school -- it would have saved me many years of figuring out that exercise can be FUN and not just a chore!
