Our vision

Youth Health Alliance (YHA) envisions a world in which youth are informed and proactive gatekeepers of their own healthy souls, minds and bodies. 

Our mission

Youth Health Alliance seeks to educate, equip and empower youth to become healthy, constructive and responsible agents of change.   

Our objectives

Youth Health Alliance provides choices that influence the holistic health of our youth.  YHA in school, after school and weekend enrichment programs positively impact several elements of children’s health – intellectual, emotional and physical.  Through breathing exercises and creative expression classes, students learn how to constructively and effectively manage the range of emotions they experience on a day-to-day basis.  By combining affordable nutritious eating options with free and adaptable exercise programs, youth are equipped with the tools needed to manage physical weight and health.  Finally, youth are empowered in the classroom through focus-building, problem-solving techniques and critical thinking skills that enhance academic performance.     

Our strategies

Youth Health Alliance will educate, equip, and empower youth to become healthy, constructive and responsible agents of change.  This mission is accomplished by:

• Providing in school, after school and weekend enrichment programs that influence the holistic health of our youth.
• Educating and equipping primary socialization agents to aid youth in their quest for a healthy existence.  These primary socialization agents include families, churches, and community support centers.

Our plans

Youth Health Alliance programs include:

• In school and after school programs that deliver a three-prong approach to improving the overall health – emotional, intellectual and physical – of our youth.
• Weekend enrichment retreats that motivate, energize and empower youth to make constructive lifestyle choices and to live a healthy existence.

Family and community empowerment workshops to educate and motivate socialization agents to fully support the healthy choices of our youth.
