The Generation With Promise (GWP) project, funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, links the Governor's Cities of Promise initiative in vulnerable communities with the Michigan Steps Up healthy lifestyles initiative led by the Michigan Surgeon General and the Michigan Department of Community Health.
This unprecedented project aims to achieve and sustain change at the policy, environment and individual levels in schools/communities with racial and ethnic health disparities by empowering middle school youth, with the guidance of school and community mentors, to become change agents. Youth will gain the knowledge and skills to eat better, move more and not smoke as well as to work as a team, and with other teams, to create school environments and polices that support these healthy behaviors.
