Building Healthier, Kinder, More Resilient Global Citizens
We partner with schools and educational institutions to deliver innovative programs with minimal burden to educators
educational institutions deserve a better model
We don't deliver lessons. We create experiences that shape who children become
Healthy Growth Foundation has co-developed programs with educational institutions where students don't just learn about health, literacy, science or languages -they live it across cultures.
High impact for students. Low burden for schools.
Unlike other complex programs that require extensive staff, we design the program in collaboration with you, we provide the experts, we bridge the collaborations and we measure the impact.
Educational institutions simply host.
We partner with: K-8 schools seeking whole-child impact. Districts prioritizing wellbeing and culture. International and bilingual schools, community-based youth programs

BUILDING A GLOBAL GENERATION HEALTHIER AND KINDER
Healthy Growth Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to expanding education beyond the classroom.
Our holistic child development programs help young people develop the values and skills that traditional academics alone cannot provide.
Through youth-led initiatives, we foster integrity, empathy, self-awareness, and open-mindedness, while strengthening essential soft skills such as leadership, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving.
By engaging youth as active participants and leaders, our programs prepare them to grow with confidence, compassion, and a sense of responsibility in a global society.
Students in USA learning with Spanish Chefs
One of our core goals is to foster healthy habits in children through education, cultural exchange, and experiential learning. To advance this mission, we launched an innovative transatlantic program in collaboration with Arkuos, IMFAHE Foundation, and with the support of the Regional Government of Taramundi.
This initiative brings together students from the United States and Europe to learn, connect, and grow through shared experiences centered on food, health, and culture.
With the participation of Michelin-starred chefs Pedro Martino and Xune Andrade, alongside leading nutrition experts in Spain, the program connected children—such as students in our pilot at Broadmeadow School in Needham, MA, USA—with peers across Europe through interactive online sessions. Through these exchanges, students explore:
- Regional and cultural recipes
- Healthy eating habits
- Ecosystems behind organic and local food production
- Innovation and sustainability in global food systems
This hands-on, cross-cultural experience not only encourages healthier lifestyles, but also nurtures curiosity, global awareness, and open-mindedness, helping young learners understand how culture, health, and sustainability are interconnected in today’s world.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING FOR CHILDREN
We believe children are change makers. Healthy Growth Foundation gives the opportunity to children to raise funds and support individuals and families in need. These funds are used to purchase healthy food and essential items, which are then donated to local food pantries.
Through these initiatives, we empower the next generation to grow not only with knowledge, but with compassion & purpose.
Language Exchange for Global Understanding
In today’s globalized world, the ability to communicate in more than one language is essential. Through conversations with peers in a second language, children not only improve their communication skills but also gain meaningful insights into other cultures and perspectives.
We launched a pilot program in Spanish and are excited to expand to other languages as we grow. Our goal is to foster curiosity, empathy, and global awareness—one conversation at a time.
Inspired by you
At Health Growth Foundation we are always looking for youth with innovative ideas and energy who want to lead next programs. With your help we can build a better society.
