The UnitedHealth HEROES Program is a service-learning, health literacy initiative developed by UnitedHealthcare and YSA. The Program awards grants to help youth, ages 5-25, create and implement local, hands-on programs to fight childhood obesity.
Each grant engages participating youth in service-learning, an effective teaching and learning strategy that supports student learning, academic achievement, and workplace readiness. The grants encourage semester-long projects that launch on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service (January 16, 2012) and culminate on Global Youth Service Day (April 20-22, 2012).
