About HealthCorps

HealthCorps is a national non-profit organization dedicated to improving lives by addressing health challenges in communities through innovative health education programming. The organization deploys college-age mentors into schools to serve as near-peer role models, teaching middle and high school students about nutrition, mental health, and fitness while inspiring them to become change agents in their families, schools, and neighborhoods. HealthCorps partners with local colleges and universities to facilitate this mentorship model, reaching tens of thousands of students annually. The organization's programs combine education, leadership development, and service learning, grounded in the belief that limited access to health education can lead to lifelong social, emotional, and physical challenges.
