About Us: Every young person deserves the opportunity to grow up healthy, confident, and equipped to succeed. Yet across New York City, too many children face barriers to physical activity, mental health resources, quality nutrition, and enrichment opportunities. These challenges are especially pronounced in underserved communities, where access to affordable, high-quality youth programming remains limited.
Active Plus is a New York City-based nonprofit dedicated to bridging health and education gaps through accessible, engaging programs that promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Since 2015, we've worked alongside schools, community organizations, and families to create opportunities for young people to discover their potential and build healthier futures.
Today, Active Plus serves approximately 3,000 young people annually across 11 program sites, offering a diverse range of programming that includes sports and fitness, nutrition and cooking education, mindfulness and social-emotional learning, leadership development, and career readiness. Our programs go beyond traditional enrichment by helping young people develop healthy habits, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and gain practical skills that extend well beyond the classroom.
We recognize that lasting change requires more than a single program or experience. It takes consistent support, trusted relationships, and opportunities for young people to grow in environments where they feel valued and supported. By meeting youth where they are and working closely with the communities we serve, Active Plus is helping remove barriers to opportunity while fostering a generation of healthier, more resilient, and empowered young leaders.
Our vision is simple: a future where every young person, regardless of background or circumstance, has access to the resources, experiences, and support they need to thrive.
