What is B Inspired Philadelphia?

Our Mission

We empower Philadelphia’s under-resourced youth to become champions of their own well-being. Through partnerships with Philadelphia’s cultural, health and creative institutions and our own wellness curriculum, we provide students with exciting and innovative out of school time (ost) programs that enrich the educational journey.

LET’S ADDRESS PHYSICAL & MENTAL HEALTH

The physical and mental health situation in Philadelphia must be addressed. Philadelphia finished last in Robert Wood Johnson’s health rankings among the state’s 67 counties. Health factors often are tied into socioeconomic factors, such as education, income, access to healthy food, crime, and air pollution, which are most prevalent in Philadelphia’s urban areas. Tackling these larger factors is daunting, but B Inspired Philadelphia is working preventatively by supporting K-8 students in Philadelphia’s most impoverished areas.

THROUGH PARTNERSHIP, WE EMPOWER KIDS

Partnering with area nonprofits, B Inspired Philadelphia supports the various components of both personal wellness and social impact and how the two are inherently inner-connected. It leverages the factors that influence health and wellness, such as exercise, stress relief exercises (journaling and meditation), cultivating friendships and giving back to the community. It works to demonstrate how personal wellness and social impact are linked and how social impact and the health of the community are necessary to achieve personal wellness.
