About Us:
In New York City, nearly 40% of public school children aged 14 and younger are overweight or obese, and approximately 20% of youth aged 5-17 face mental health challenges. These issues are disproportionately prevalent in low-income, minority communities, creating early-life obstacles that often lead to lasting health issues, reduced opportunities, and increased mortality rates.
Active Plus is a NYC-based non-profit with a mission to bridge health and education gaps by providing accessible, high-quality programs that foster physical, mental, and emotional well-being among at-risk youth. Since 2015, we’ve dedicated ourselves to designing and delivering engaging programs that focus on fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, and leadership development, ensuring underserved youth have the tools they need to lead healthier, empowered lives.
Our work goes beyond typical youth programming; we view Active Plus as an organization at the forefront of emergency response for our community’s youth. Today, the urgency to address health and wellness disparities has never been greater. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated challenges in low-income neighborhoods, and many families continue to grapple with both physical and mental health struggles. We believe that by acting now, we can provide life-saving resources and guidance to empower the next generation. Through Active Plus, we are committed to transforming the lives of NYC youth and creating healthier, more resilient communities.
