What We Do

H.E.A.L.T.H for Youths, Inc was formed for the charitable
and educational purposes of assisting at-risk youth; combating community deterioration and juvenile delinquency; and improving the quality of education, health care and
life-skills training offered to underserved adolescents and young adults.


To further this purpose, H.E.A.L.T.H for Youths will collaborate with non-profit organizations, schools and other community organizations which have after-school and weekend programs to provide workshops in the areas of physical health, mental health, social/cultural education and life-skills. Additionally, H.E.A.L.T.H for Youths will run a summer internship program in which students will participate in an 8 week internship program in fields such as advertising, finance, healthcare, law and journalism. The summer internship program will also include community outreach component, social/cultural activities, networking, healthcare education and other life-skills training.


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.
