Organization Details

The activities will be carried out by H.E.A.L.T.H for Youths? workshop leaders, directors, officers, staff, advisory board and volunteers.

Funding will come from government and foundation grants, corporations and private donations.

H.E.A.L.T.H for Youths was a client of the Columbia University Law School Nonprofit Organizations/Small Business Clinic. Our organization worked with the clinic from September of 2008 until May 2009. Being a client of the clinic ensures that our organizations? documents are drafted and reviewed by legal professionals. Our organization will continue to obtain input from the clinic going forward. H.E.A.L.T.H for Youths had its first organizational meeting at the Columbia University Law School on April 15, 2009.

Literacy Program Literacy is defined by UNESCO as ?the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate, compute and use printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his or her knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society.? To that end, H.E.A.L.T.H for Youths will have a wide array of literacy programs ranging from health literacy to art literacy to mental health literacy, all focused on broadening the horizons of the students served.

The organization, with the help of funding, will create a robust, unique library that incorporates artwork, books, film, and other multi-media to fully incorporate the arts, education, film and books in the literacy educational process.
