Our Work in Maryland

In Maryland, we’re making it easier for kids to develop healthy habits.

More than 750 schools serving over 481,000 students across the state have joined Healthier Generation's Healthy Schools Program, creating healthier school environments for children to thrive. Since 2007, 77 Maryland schools have been recognized with National Healthy Schools Awards for their outstanding efforts.

We’ve also made it easier for over 13,500 youth in 177 out-of-school time programs to eat right and move more through our Healthy Out-of-School Time Initiative.

Success Stories

Hear from two school champions from just one of the many districts we work with in Maryland: Prince George’s County School District, enrolled with the Healthy Schools Program since 2008.

Healthier Generation complements my work by providing a comprehensive framework that uses six steps to impact and redefine school health. Their free tools help to create healthier communities by engaging all stakeholders, promoting advocacy and changing the health landscapes within schools.

I had a student attend all of the sessions of a before-school workout club and by the end of the year, he finally had enough confidence to join his first sports team!
