 Who We Are

GENYOUth is a national nonprofit organization dedicated ensuring America’s students are well nourished, physically active, and empowered to thrive and be their personal best. We believe that all students are change-agents who deserve the opportunity to identify and lead innovative solutions to positively impact nutrition, physical activity, and student success. Our programs including NFL FLAG-In-School and AdVenture Capital reach 76,000 schools – 69% of all U.S. schools. With our core commitment to End Student Hunger, we collaborate with corporate funders to provide schools nationwide with equipment and resources to help tackle food insecurity among high need students. Through such fundraising efforts as Taste of the NFL, the Super Bowl’s largest philanthropic event, GENYOUth has helped increase access to vital school meals and nutrition for 41 million at-risk students.

 

While the pandemic may be in the rearview mirror, the school nutrition landscape is nowhere close to normal, with 1 in 8 children continuing to live in food insecurity, including 1 in 5 Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous kids. To foster nutrition security, build school meal equity for all students, and ultimately End Student Hunger, GENYOUth is helping to increase student participation in school meal programs through innovative approaches that engage students, help increase access, and drive participation.
