GENYOUth® Hosts Leadership Roundtable in Silicon Valley to Support Youth Empowerment

SANTA CLARA, California, May 13, 2015 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — GENYOUth, a philanthropic organization focused on addressing youth leadership for school and community wellness, today convened a high-level gathering of national leaders and students around the topic of youth empowerment. The event was timed to coincide with the release of GENYOUth’s latest Report, “Empowering Youth: Students as Change-Agents for Wellness in Schools and Communities,” which discusses the importance, and the need, for supporting youth in becoming stewards for school and community wellness.

Held in partnership with Jamba Juice and SAP, and supported by Dannon and Sodexo, the gathering brought together leaders from diverse industries including the technology, education, financial, government, healthcare, nutrition, and sports sectors. The goal of the discussion was to generate perspectives on such vital topics as how youth empowerment is essential to driving healthy changes in schools and communities; how youth are working to advance social change; and how public/private collaboration and the involvement of business can further support the development of a healthy, high-achieving generation of empowered youth.

“In America, youth have always been at the forefront of positive social change, whether it was the adoption of seat-belt laws, the anti-smoking crusade, anti-bullying campaigns, or similar movements,” said Alexis Glick, CEO of GENYOUth. “It is our mission to enable empowered, entrepreneurial youth who will deliver to the next generation, and beyond, healthier schools, communities, and a healthier nation as a whole. Our Roundtable discussions are essential to helping develop specific calls to action and identifying support and funding in making youth empowerment possible.”

Today’s meeting included students from GENYOUth’s flagship program Fuel Up to Play 60 and its entrepreneurship program AdVenture Capital, developed in partnership with SAP. Student representatives attended and shared their successes and how programs like these have helped create meaningful and positive change in their schools and communities. As the largest school based nutrition and fitness program, Fuel Up to Play 60 program currently engages millions of students in eating healthier and staying active and the AdVenture Capital program has helped students across the country receive grant funds to help implement their ideas.

“SAP is proud to partner with GENYOUth and provide the technology platform for Adventure Capital. Developing the entrepreneurial skills of the next generation of leaders will help shape the future of tomorrow – and business has to make this a priority,” said Jen Morgan, president SAP North America. “Adventure Capital is helping students turn their health and wellness ideas into reality and create meaningful programs that have a real impact on their communities.”

Added Jamba Juice CEO James White, “Jamba Juice is committed to the health and wellness of youth and the communities we serve. This Roundtable enables us to convene with like-minded corporate, philanthropic and other partners to ideate and build programs that continue to drive our unified visions of a healthy, empowered generation of youth.”

As a result of today’s meeting, according to GENYOUth CEO Glick, “the group successfully identified how its collective assets and insights can be utilized to improve school nutrition and physical activity environments and readiness to learn, as well as to support GENYOUth’s sharpened focus on youth-led solutions.”
