nrg Powered by Choice

engaging teens | creating healthy change

Teens have great influence on families, younger children and the economy. Given a voice – and choice – they have the power to decide what's important today, tomorrow and in the future.

So, what if teens were given the power to promote healthy living…to educate their friends on the importance of eating healthy and being physically active? What if teens were empowered to create a change in their school or community that helped others get active or choose a healthy snack?

Since early 2007, thousands of teens have chosen to do just that.

Through nrg Powered by Choice™, teens age 13 to 18 have the opportunity to influence societal norms and play an integral role in communicating what they believe will make healthy living easier – for themselves and their friends.

Maybe student council wants to purchase new, interactive PE equipment for gym class. Or, maybe youth at an after-school program want fresh fruit and vegetables for their afternoon snack. Whatever the case may be, nrg Powered by Choice provides teens with the framework (and tools) they need to promote, raise money for and implement a healthy change.

Keeping the next generation healthy is a great incentive for adult advisors such as teachers, coaches and community leaders. Are you interested in helping teens channel their “nrg?”
