Strategic Initiatives

The Foundation manages a handful of strategic initiatives focused on improving the conditions that shape our health. These include our Building an Equity Movement training sessions, our Youth Griot Program, the Social Justice Book Club we steward in partnership with Tombolo Books, and our voter mobilization efforts.

CURRENT PROGRAMS

THEIR STORIES, OUR VOICES YOUTH GRIOT PROGRAM

We’re working with a group of local high school students to build awareness of local Black history, shift narratives, and grow the skills of empowered young community-driven storytellers.

BUILDING AN EQUITY MOVEMENT

The Foundation offers this curated learning experience to help community members understand St. Petersburg’s racial history so that we may develop meaningful ways to individually and collectively address systemic barriers that continue to exist today. Through these trainings, which serve as an entry point for education and further exploration, groups learn from stories about people who have previously challenged the status quo to fight for equity. To schedule a training or learn more, email Impact Manager Joshua Bean at joshua@healthystpete.foundation. Explore online resources through the link below.

SOCIAL JUSTICE BOOK CLUB

In partnership with Tombolo Books, we host the Social Justice Book Club on the second Monday of every month. Doors open at 5:30 PM for refreshments, with the book discussion running from 6-7:30 PM. Check out our events page to see what we’re reading and sign up.
