Through physical activity and nutrition education and programming, we address the root causes of many preventable chronic diseases that stem from poor nutrition and lack of physical activity. By partnering with families, schools, and community organizations in under-resourced communities, we promote widespread, equitable access to the tools that secure healthy futures for young people. Our work is tailored to meet the specific needs of each population, with the goal of inspiring positive habits throughout a child's lifetime. We believe that if we provide Georgia's youth with health-focused programming, training, leadership opportunities, conducive environments, and opportunities, then it will catalyze positive concrete change in overall youth health so that Georgians are nourished and active for generations to come.The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the nation's most important anti-hunger program. SNAP-Ed, the educational component of SNAP, is an evidence-based program that empowers families eligible for SNAP benefits to maximize their budgets and lead healthier lives. HealthMPowers has been entrusted as one of a few agencies conducting SNAP-Ed work in Georgia since 2007 through our comprehensive program, Empowering Healthy Choices in Schools, Homes, and Communities. In collaboration with program participants in early care and education sites (ECE), K-12 schools, out-of-school time sites, and in communities, we assess the current nutrition and physical activity practices of the site and implement improvements unique to the site's community and culture. This program is delivered in a highly collaborative manner with continued coaching and support that leads to long-term, sustainable, positive change in communities. As a result of this work over 2022/2023, we advanced our mission of championing healthy habits and transforming the environments where children live, learn, and play, through the following outcomes: 206 sustainable policy, system, and environmental (PSE) changes were implemented in the areas of physical activity and nutrition, impacting approximately 64,745 youth 465 Student Health Advocates received leadership and health education training to promote improvements in healthy eating and physical activity in their schools and communities 152youth received food-based instruction through Cooking Matters classes and gardening instruction More than 231 afterschool staff members received training and resources to enhance nutrition and physical programming.We hosted 142 community and family events, reaching over 6,000 participants.Positive behavior improvements in healthy eating and physical activity for preschool children, elementary, and secondary students were realized:o ECE children significantly improved and/or maintained in 75%of measured healthy eating behaviors in the 2023 year (22% increase in ECE children eating the recommended servings of fruit and 15% increase of ECE children eating a variety of vegetables daily)o 46% of Elementary students maintained eating the recommended servings of fruit and 38% maintained the recommended servings of vegetables. o Secondary students showed an increase of 8% in physical activity during the school day outside of Physical Education classes.o High School Student Health Advocates showed increases in the nationally recommended servings for fruit (8%) and vegetables (9%)The Girls Empowering Movement (GEM) Program is a research-based initiative created and implemented by HealthMPowers that improves the health and well-being of middle school girls by empowering them to take the lead in developing physical activity programs designed by girls, for girls. GEM is delivered state-wide in school-based settings, and in additional out-of-school (OST) settings in partnership with the Boys & Girls Clubs of Georgia and Girl Scouts Regional Councils. The GEM program serves more than 2,081 girls in 51 counties across Georgia. We serve a highly diverse population of youth with 49% identifying as African American; 12.5% identifying as Hispanic, 13.4% as Other; 1.3% as Asian; and 0.4% as American Indian. About 21% of girl participants report chronic conditions and/or disabilities. The GEM Program directly addresses the challenge of providing girls with access to and opportunities for regular physical activity while empowering them to become healthy change agents in their schools and communities. For GEM participants surveyed at the end of their program year, their overall reported daily physical activity was 151% higher than the average minutes of physical activity reported at baseline. In 2022/2023 because of the GEM Program, the following outcomes were achieved: 2,081 registered girls received direct program services at 108 sitesThese leaders reached an additional 10,649 peers through 73 girl-led events and activities in their schools and communities.Power Up for 30: Power Up for 30 is a collaborative effort between HealthMPowers and Georgia Shape, the governor's statewide initiative to increase physical activity opportunities to incorporate an additional 30 minutes of physical activityoutside of PE, every day for every child, and youth. Power Up for 30 gives educators, schools, and sites resources, strategies, and best practices for creating an active classroom environment. Studies show that increased activity can lead to improved attendance rates, higher academic achievement, better classroom behavior, and reduced depression and anxiety in kids. As a result of these programmatic activities: 28 K-12 schools participated in in person Power Up for 30 training and resources to learn strategies on how to incorporate physical activity opportunities throughout the school day 14,026 students impacted by the incorporation at least 30 minutes of physical activity during the school day, outside of PE. 4947930 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 48 0 1 85 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 16 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 GA X Lavette Dow-Jones 7708171733 3000 Northwoods Parkway 240 Norcross GA 30071 X Mr Keith Perkey Board Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mr Gerry Halphen Vice Chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Mr Kirk Diamond Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Ms Jasmine Hoffman Treasurer 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Ms Amanda M Adams Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Mr Justin Grimsley Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Ms Laura Kurlander- Nagel Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mr Denys Lu Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Ms Nicole Mosley Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Ms Sonali Rao Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Ms Shana Scott Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Mr Rohan Rajpurohit Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Mr Marcus Foster Board Member 0.50 X 0 0 0 Ms Jennifer Owens President 40.00 X 200000 0 0 200000 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 4763261 948262 51487 5711523 36830 36830 5748353 0 0 36830 X 200000 180040 13280 6680 2356178 2121032 156450 78696 303927 273595 20181 10151 198733 178899 13196 6638 26700 26700 572078 572078 15979 2858 11621 1500 48344 35454 10950 1940 110346 86569 23448 329 107556 96822 7142 3592 90021 87414 2300 307 19051 19051 21172 21172 Educational Material 1313169 1313169 Bad Debt Expenses 144081 144081 Janitorial Services 11700 11700 Miscellaneous 3379 3379 2834 2834 5545248 4947930 487485 109833 584673 123347 2374299 2286073 1550 1550 1397607 1809281 82 178998 99640 98409 79358 528667 455900 4985205 4755591 447605 632554 673272 69401 525407 465564 1646284 1167519 X 3338921 3550572 37500 3338921 3588072 4985205 4755591 203105 46046 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 5786753 5305719 6435971 5119302 5651237 28298982 5786753 5305719 6435971 5119302 5651237 28298982 11390915 16908067 6184 2259 2593 18027 36830 65893 28364875 269570 0.59610 0.89370 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1 X 38914 37924 990 140084 61716 78368 79358 Security Deposits 10372 Right of Use Lease 445528 455900 Building Lease Obligation 465564 465564 X 5794399 46046 46046 5748353 0 5748353 5545248 0 5545248 0 5545248 Part IV, Line 2b: Pursuant to an agreement, the Organization maintains an agency relationship on behalf of four additional charitable organizations.
