Fun & Play Community Engagement Initiative

Our different outreach initiatives create safe spaces for dialogue, healing, and growth. We listen to what our communities need and deliver programs that reflect their voices. Whether through neighborhood events or advocacy sessions, we bring people together to build trust and change lives.

Health and Me empowers immigrant, refugee, and low-income youth to take ownership of their mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing through culturally responsive mentorship, wellness education, and creative expression.

The program combines mental health awareness, sports, and life skills to help youth understand the connection between mind, body, and community. Each month, participants receive hygiene kits filled with essential items that promote self-care, confidence, and dignity—helping address barriers many youth face in maintaining personal health.

Through group discussions, mindfulness activities, cooking and fitness workshops, and weekend sports sessions, youth learn how to build healthy routines, manage stress, and support one another in a safe and inclusive space.

By centering wellness and accessibility, Health and Me breaks the stigma surrounding mental health, encourages positive coping strategies, and promotes leadership rooted in self-care and community care.
