Our Mission
B Inspired Philadelphia empowers Philadelphia's most under-resourced middle school students to become champions of their own well-being. Through partnerships with many of Philadelphia's cultural, health and creative institutions, complemented by our own wellness program, we provide students with exciting and innovative out-of-school time (OST) programs to enrich their educational journey. Recognizing that food scarcity has a profound impact on our students, we provide a healthy snack during our after-school programs and a full lunch during our 6 week summer camp.
Outcomes
1. Improve health knowledge, attitudes, and skills.
2. Improve health habits and reduce stress.
3. Improve educational outcomes.
Let’s address physical & mental health
The physical and mental health situation in Philadelphia must be addressed. Philadelphia finished last in Robert Wood Johnson’s health rankings among the state’s 67 counties. Health factors often are tied into socioeconomic factors, such as education, income, access to healthy food, crime, and air pollution, which are most prevalent in Philadelphia’s urban areas. Tackling these larger factors is daunting, but B Inspired Philadelphia is working preventatively by supporting K-8 students in Philadelphia’s most impoverished areas.
Through partnership, we empower kids
Partnering with area nonprofits, B Inspired Philadelphia supports the various components of both personal wellness and social impact and how the two are inherently inner-connected. It leverages the factors that influence health and wellness, such as exercise, stress relief exercises (journaling and meditation), cultivating friendships and giving back to the community. It works to demonstrate how personal wellness and social impact are linked and how social impact and the health of the community are necessary to achieve personal wellness.
