Schools partnering with the VitalPath Initiative have the flexibility to choose between hosting two or four community outreach events, tailored to meet the specific needs of their communities. These events cover a wide range of impactful topics, including but not limited to:

• Physicals and health screenings

• Job fairs and career readiness workshops

• Food drives or pantry programs

• Mobile health clinics

• Healthy cooking demonstrations

• Horticulture and farming DIY sessions

• Health education seminars

• Financial literacy for healthcare expenses

What sets the VitalPath Initiative apart is its commitment to fully individualizing programming based on each school’s unique needs and targeted areas of focus. This customized approach ensures that every partnership delivers maximum value and addresses the specific priorities of the communities served.

One of the most unique and impactful components of the VitalPath Initiative is our creative and flexible funding model. By strategically positioning ourselves to accept multiple streams of public funding, we ensure that schools are not burdened with covering costs from their operating budgets. Schools can leverage funding sources such as John Peterson funding, Title funding, and even Medicaid funding to cover the costs of our programming.

VPI costs approximately $10,000 to serve one school for 12 weeks of comprehensive health and social skills education. However, to minimize financial strain on schools that are already navigating tight budgets, we are seeking financial support to subsidize $4,000 per school. In addition we have created a flexibile menu for schools to operate within their budget! This approach allows us to reduce the financial burden on schools while providing students and their communities with access to vital resources and transformative programming.

Through this innovative funding strategy, we aim to ensure that every school, regardless of its financial circumstances, has the opportunity to offer the VitalPath Initiative to their students and community, helping to bridge gaps in education and wellness.
