What we do:

SCHOOL-BASED WELLNESS

Embrace impacts the educational system by teaching underprivileged middle-school children in Title I Schools the importance of healthy lifestyle habits and cultural acceptance

SERVING THE HOMELESS

Embrace also has a direct impact on the daily lives of the homeless every week of the year.

STUDENT VOLUNTEER MODEL

Embrace distinguishes itself from other nonprofit organizations by serving as a student volunteer broker to provide assistance to other non profits and city council members, while ensuring that the students have the opportunity to receive academic credit toward graduation.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

The program routinely provides enrichment experiences for underprivileged youth by conducting Wellness Workshops that include amateur and professional athletes as role models as well as tickets to college and professional sporting events.
