Creating Healthy Schools and Communities

"Elevating the health of our communities through the policy, advocacy and the design of sustainable physical activity programming"

We are passionate about our pursuit of a healthier, more equitable world – a world where each neighborhood, regardless of its demographic, thrives with energy, vibrancy, and access to opportunities for physical well-being. Our partnership with Bronx Health REACH and The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) East Harlem and the Brownsville Neighborhood Action Center is a testament to our shared commitment to championing the health of every community.

Embracing Equity Through Action

Guided by a deep understanding of the socio-economic indicators that illuminate our maps – the very ones that point to communities rich in cultural diversity but often overlooked in resources – we vigorously address and dismantle barriers that impede the freedom of movement and well-being in our neighborhoods.

Our Action Areas

With determination and data as our foundation, we are actively working to create environments where every individual is empowered to take the healthiest step forward.
