Humana Healthy Horizons

Demonstrating our strong ability to manage complex populations and create solutions that lead to a better quality of life for our members.

Planting the Seed to Combat Food Insecurity

In partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, leading health and well-being company, Humana Healthy Horizons™, has provided $1.5 million in funding to drive healthy habits for Club youth across the country and provide access to healthy lifestyle information. Through the sponsorship provided by the Humana Healthy Horizons’ Planting the Seed to Combat Food Insecurity grant, 10 community gardens will be designed, built and maintained by youth at Boys & Girls Clubs. This opportunity will allow Club kids to learn more about gardening while building upon Humana Healthy Horizons’ ongoing work to address food insecurity. The partnership also provides support for Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s Healthy Habits curriculum, designed to teach young people about the benefits of healthy habits and positive behavior.

Food insecurity affects 11 million U.S. children, according to the U.S. Department Agriculture and it’s projected that 18 million children could face hunger this year. This partnership aims to level the playing field by ensuring all youth, regardless of abilities, gender, age, skill level, household income or prior experiences, are given the same opportunities to take small steps toward positive behavior change.

“This grant will allow our youth and possibly their families to plant gardens so they have fresh produce to assist with teaching health habits for eating.”

- Club Site Director

“This grant will allow BGCGC to raise health and wellness awareness, and provide education and resources to members and their families that support healthy lifestyles.”

Impact on Kids

Through partnering with Samsung, we expanded access to the DIY STEM program and developed the Climate Superstars Challenge. The DIY STEM program serves as the entry-point for all members' STEM learning experience at Clubs and provides youth exposure to STEM through five modules: Energy and Electricity, Engineering Design, Food Chemistry, Aeronautics and the Science of Sports: Football. Climate Superstars aims to encourage youth to raise awareness about climate change and motivate them to take actions that help protect the environment.

Samsung's partnership enables interactive, hands-on learning while providing students with new perspectives on STEM careers and access to the latest technology. In addition, our partnership with Samsung goes beyond our programs and includes cause marketing initiatives that help promote awareness and drive donations for the organization. Through exclusive access to unique experiences such as the Las Vegas Galaxy Studio pop-up with singer Kelly Rowland and music producer and artist DJ Marshmello and a Winter Wonderland video production featuring YouTube star Casey Neistat, Samsung helps expand their understanding of STEM and encourages them to be the next generation of creators and innovators.
