HealthCorps in Action: Innovating Youth Wellness Amidst COVID-19

We are doubling down on new projects and programs that we tried, that showed promise and learning from ones that didn't.
When the world turned upside down with the COVID-19 pandemic, HealthCorps stepped up to the challenge. In this episode of The American Health Podcast, Natalie J. Tunzi, Program Planning and Evaluations Manager at HealthCorps, and her colleague Kate Crimmins share their experiences and strategies for navigating these turbulent times. HealthCorps, a national non-profit, is dedicated to building stronger communities through cutting-edge health and wellness programs for young people.
But how do you keep such vital work going when schools are closed and face-to-face interactions are limited? Natalie and Kate dive into their adaptive approaches, discussing how they've supported educators and parents while transitioning to remote settings. They also highlight the innovative fundraising efforts that have kept their programs afloat and even thriving during the pandemic.
From making health education more engaging to ensuring it's accessible to all teens, this episode offers a fascinating look into how HealthCorps is making a real difference. Whether you're an educator, parent, or just curious about effective community health strategies, you'll find plenty of inspiration and practical insights here.
