“Healthy NewsWorks changed me in so many ways when I was in fourth grade.”

Aria, now a fifth grader at East Norriton Middle School, learned how to write, film, and speak with confidence through her school’s Healthy Comet newspaper.

Her favorite part? Making videos and learning to communicate in new ways.

When you support Healthy NewsWorks, you’re helping students like Aria learn how to distinguish facts from opinions and identify reliable sources of information.

🌟 Together, we’re Building a Healthy Future one story at a time.

💙 For more than 20 years, Healthy NewsWorks has empowered students to ask big questions: What’s true? Who can we trust? How do we build a healthier world?

Through our Building a Healthy Future campaign, we’re helping young reporters gain the skills to find and share reliable health information in their schools and communities.

We’ve raised over $735,000 toward our $1 million goal and we need your help to reach the finish line!

📰 Support our student journalists today and help us build a healthier future together.
