Youth Empowerment

Northeast Florida Healthy Start Coalition
“I want to support this program that provides moms, newborns and families with education, support and resources through one-on-one services in the home, hospital, and community.”
Northeast Florida Healthy Start Coalition supports families from the very first questions about having a baby through the fragile early years of a child’s life. From wellness care for teens and young women to preconception planning, maternal health, fatherhood support, and postpartum services, they make sure no one has to navigate pregnancy and early parenthood alone. Their goal is simple and profound: healthier parents, healthier babies, and stronger families in every neighborhood they serve.

Now, alongside his wife, Tamela, he’s working to move beyond a one-size-fits-all model and expand individualized learning opportunities that help every student thrive.
