Impact ​Report

JULY 1, 2021 - JUNE 30, 2022

From the ​President & CEO

Jennifer L. Owens ​President & CEO

Welcome! I am proud to present the 2022 HealthMPowers Annual Report.

Here, we shine a light on the amazing outcomes and the incredible work that has been done by our team and partners over the past year.


This year marks another successful leg in the marathon toward a vision where all children are nourished and active.


By focusing our intentions on centering youth voices and leadership, mental health and wellness, and incorporating diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility into the very foundation of our work, we took one more step towards realizing that vision.


Thank you for being a part of this critically important work!


About

HealthMPowers

HealthMPowers is a nonprofit organization serving

children, youth, schools, and families in communities across Georgia. 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 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—because health should

never be a barrier to a young person reaching their full potential.

Theory of Change

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.

Our ​Mission

To champion healthy habits and ​transform the environments where ​children live, learn, and play.

Our ​Vision

All children nourished ​and active.

Our Impact

Every child deserves access to plenty of nutritious foods and spaces for physical activity. From our youngest learners, to youth who are starting to take control of their own health, we strive to create a world where all kids—no matter their zip code—are armed with the education and resources they need to make healthy and sustainable choices for a lifetime of good health.

During 2021-2022, working alongside youth leaders, educators, and community

members we championed and resourced programs, and facilitated trainings

through five key programs:

Empowering ​Healthy Choices in ​Schools, Homes, and ​Communities

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the nation’s most ​important anti-hunger program. SNAP-Ed, the education side 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. It’s a

highly interactive process with continued coaching and support that allows

for long-term, sustainable, positive change in the communities we serve.

Student Health Advocates

The Power of Putting Kids at the Forefront

The Student Health Advocates (SHAs) at Bernd Elementary School reacted quickly when they realized their friends and fellow students were not eating enough fruits and vegetables to fuel their minds and bodies during the school day.


The SHAs formulated a campaign based on a single healthy message: eat two fruits and three vegetables every day. In

order to promote the initiative, they created videos detailing the many benefits of eating more nutritious foods. The videos

were shown during morning announcements, and posted on the school’s social media accounts.


The messaging worked. Post data showed Bernd students upped the amount of fruits and veggies they consumed.


HealthMPowers’ SHA program is designed to ensure that students are the leaders and change agents in their

environments. Student Health Advocates are trained and activated to drive healthy behaviors and create sustainable

changes in their schools and communities. They host events, develop messaging, and challenge peers to lead healthier

lifestyles.


In 2022, the SHA program became a core part of the Empowering Healthy Choices in Schools, Homes, and Communities

(SNAP-Ed) program for elementary schools. To rollout the program, a pilot was conducted in Bibb County. Almost 300

SHA’s were trained and activated, 19 schools participated and 16 projects were completed. These youth-led and youth-

driven projects focused on increasing water consumption, healthy eating, or increasing physical activity.

SHAs at Matilda Hartley Elementary School started a school garden. Starting small, they planted seeds in cups before finding an area on school grounds to plant an outdoor garden. Harvested food was used in a taste test to expose other students to a wider variety of fruits and vegetables.


SHAs at Alexander II Math and Science Magnet School wanted to provide more physical activity opportunities outside of P.E. class. They developed an all-day challenge, coming up with activities and exercises for all students and teachers.


SHAs at Burdell-Hunt Elementary School used an interactive educational display, posters, taste tests and live cooking demonstrations to promote healthy eating amongst their peers.


These are just a few examples. Across the county, the data was amazing. All student behavior trended in the positive

direction. Fruit and vegetable consumption increased, along with physical activity. There were also statistically significant

gains in health knowledge among all participants.


These results show why it’s critically important to center youth voice and keep kids at the forefront of our decisions

and programs. Once young people are given the platform to organize and be heard, they create change in their communities.

drops to 31%. GEM provides girls with ​access to regular physical activity

while empowering them to become ​community change agents. The program, ​designed by girls for girls, debuted in the ​summer of 2021 with a goal to motivate ​200,000 girls to get moving. Currently, ​thousands of girls across Georgia are ​engaging with programming, resources, ​and a peer network to get active, build ​leadership skills, and develop the social ​and emotional tools needed to live happy ​healthy lives.

Farm to School

We have a long history of engagement in ​farm to school programming, maintaining ​an active role with the Georgia Farm to ​School Alliance Network and supporting ​the Georgia Farm to School strategic plan. ​Our strong commitment to food-based ​instruction remains evident through the ​promotion of the Georgia Harvest of the ​Month, and services that include taste ​testing, cooking demonstrations featuring ​locally-grown produce, and gardening ​lessons. Most recently, HealthMPowers was ​awarded a grant from the United States ​Department of Agriculture (USDA) to ​strengthen our impact by supporting our ​work with existing partners’ to augment ​implementation and enhance the ​sustainability of farm to school activities.

Reach for the Stars ​Georgia’s ​Nutrition and ​Physical Activity ​Learning ​Collaborative

A multi-year effort funded by Nemours ​Children’s Health, the Reach for the

Stars Learning Collaborative (RSLC) is

a statewide training series designed to ​transform wellness policies and practices ​within early care and education (ECE) ​sites to create healthy environments for ​children, staff, and families. Throughout ​the RSLC, participating ECE sites were ​provided with virtual trainings, technical ​assistance, educational resources, and ​financial support to improve their nutrition ​and physical activity programs, policies, ​and practices.

Tee Tee’s Learning Center

Small Improvements, Big Impact

Located in the city of Valdosta, Tee Tee’s Learning Center is an ECE center dedicated to ensuring children learn and

grow in a safe, nurturing environment where teachers and staff offer opportunities that spark their curiosity and wonder, ​encourage their independence, and foster positive social interactions with their peers. Serving children six weeks to six ​years old, Tee Tee’s currently has a maximum capacity of 12 children with four staff on-site.

Tee Tee’s director and assistant teacher decided to participate in the RSLC in an effort to broaden their provider network

while gaining additional knowledge, tools, and resources to further engage their families in healthier nutrition and

physical activity choices. After participating in Farm to ECE instruction for four years, their staff were also eager to share

their lessons learned while starting a center garden.

Using the results from their pre–Georgia Nutrition and Physical Activity Assessment (GaNPA), Tee Tee’s selected three

nutrition and physical activity actions to improve during the course.

Provide a designated area other than the bathroom for lactating mothers to breastfeed that has privacy, ​seating, an electrical outlet, and enough refrigerator and/or freezer space to store expressed milk.

Never serve fruits with added sugars

Provide eight or more different types of portable play equipment in good condition for children to use during ​unstructured physical activity outdoors.

Learning in and learning through grantmaking: Jesse Parker Williams Foundation and the

Girls Empowering Movement (GEM)

Bonnie Hardage

Executive Director

Jesse Parker

Williams Foundation

As the executive director of the Jesse Parker Williams Foundation, Bonnie Hardage is dedicated to finding and supporting organizations in Metro Atlanta that emphasize preventative, comprehensive health opportunities and enhance access to health services for women and children in low-income and under-resourced communities.


The foundation has many areas of impact, from improving access to high quality health services, to increasing healthy behaviors to reduce the risk of developing chronic illnesses later in life.


The foundation’s relationship with the Girls Empowering Movement (GEM) Program began in 2021, during the national Grantmakers In Health Conference, where Hardage attended a presentation by The Arthur M. Blank Foundation, an inaugural and continued GEM supporter. Hardage was intrigued and inspired by the description of GEM as a statewide program on a mission to improve the health and wellbeing of middle school girls by empowering them to take the lead in developing physical activity programs designed by girls for girls. Moreso, she was impressed by the impact and outcomes.


“In middle school, the pressures of being a young girl start to increase as the influence from the outside world starts to creep in,” said Hardage. “Girls are at a chasm where they start to lose themselves to please others over developing their own personas. External cultural influences put a lot of pressure on girls. A strong outcome of GEM is that self-exploration, leadership, and keeping true to yourself is prioritized.”


The Jesse Parker Williams Foundation was two years into their grantmaking planning process, and focused on bridging the gaps in racial disparities in the health care sector. For Hardage, The Blank Foundation painted a very promising picture for the future of GEM.


“It was easy to listen to a peer grantmaker in Atlanta that had already grounded themselves in this work. Through a relationship with HealthMPowers and GEM, we would be able to continue to learn through our grantmaking about centering youth voice, the alignment around physical activity and mental health and wellness, and capitalize on the long reputation that HealthMPowers has around youth well-being.”


Learning through the grantmaking process is seen as essential to leadership at the Jesse Parker Williams Foundation. With an understanding that they are not on the ground every day in the community, staff and trustees prioritize learning alongside grantees to build a shared understanding of any gaps contributing to health inequities. They look at what’s working, what’s not working, and stay on top of any successes or barriers to desired outcomes.

“We are always looking for areas where we can build capacity or strengthen nonprofit organizations through general operating support or programmatic support. Evaluation has also been very important to the trustees. We are deeply invested in building evaluation capacity for our grantees, even to the point where we offer an evaluation consultant before grants are awarded to identify areas of alignment in the organization with public health indicators, or knowledge-based improvements in the prevention strategies.”


The foundation also learned more about best practices in community-led participatory research and evaluation from grantees. By using photos, narratives, and focus groups to get away from the written word, they are taking a more creative stance on learning from those who are the closest to the issues. Of course, they still use tried and true methods like demographics, people being served, and how they are being served, but they are focused on providing space for community members to tell them what is most helpful.

“Leaning into a more equity-based model versus a prescriptive-model for grantmaking has proven highly successful for the foundation. When we went closer to community and closer to the areas where the child well-being index really identifies disparities in well-being, we recognized that we had more learning to do around the way we approach evaluation. Since then, we have reevaluated our process to lessen the burden on our grantees. What I am hearing from trustees is what they are learning from Jess Parker Williams Foundation’s unique strategies and that informs their leadership and governance on other boards to make shifts in understanding and approach to serve communities in a more authentic way.”


Working alongside GEM, a program that champions middle school girls not only keeps in line with the foundation’s goals, but is also very close to Hardage’s heart.


“I know, just from my own personal experience, how meaningful sports were in my life at that time. In addition to the science behind girls playing team sports or staying active to bridge through a really critical self-development period, girls are forming their routine around health. If you can find your support peer group where you can thrive and be accepted, this space really becomes a protective buffer for even high school. Having those positive, protective behaviors has a long-term effect.”


“As a former Girl Scout Leader Troop Leader of this age group, I know firsthand how girls are dreamers at this age, but they also need structure and information. And it seems like the GEM program is really successful in providing that structure, but also freedom to create. And that has been really wonderful to see evolve over time.”

An affirming moment.


The GEM Virtual Impact Summit in 2021, where the girls really presented their projects, was a year into the pandemic. The timing was critical because there were a lot of kids that remained lost in trying to navigate all the challenges that they were experiencing. Just seeing the energy, diversity, approach to deliver wellness programs that were important to them and their peers in their local community was really powerful.

DONOR SPOTLIGHT

I admire HealthMPowers’ commitment to innovation and partnership to truly move the needle on children’s health. As a long- time advocate in Georgia’s child nutrition space, HealthMPowers is one of the key foundational players. In 2018, I pitched the idea of Small Bites Adventure Club, a monthly hands-on, turn- key cooking kit for educators that has everything they need to teach children about fruits and vegetables. HealthMPowers was in the room, and they were the first organization to jump on board. Working together, we refined our process into something that could be integrated into their existing programs. We improved our tools to activate and empower educators on the front lines, leading to increased engagement and confidence among teachers to lead nutrition education— even after HealthMPowers has left the classroom. On that first day, HealthMPowers took a risk with us, and it paid off. They understand that kids and programs are constantly changing, and we have to change with them. I am proud to be a donor of this exceptional organization working each and every day to improve the health of Georgia kids.
