HealthCorps

What HealthCorps does

HealthCorps is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2004 and headquartered in New York City, founded by Mehmet Oz. The organization's mission is to eliminate health challenges and improve lives by educating and empowering teens, positioning participants as 'change-agents' who influence health behaviors in their families, schools, and neighborhoods rather than focusing solely on individual behavior change. Its core operating model is the delivery of an evidence-based, teen-relevant health curriculum structured around three pillars—Mental Health, Physical Health, and Community Health—primarily through the Mentorship Experience, an in-person internship program that currently recruits interns in all U.S. regions.

The product portfolio comprises the integrated HealthCorps Programs (the curriculum), the Mentorship Experience (the internship delivery vehicle), and three programmatic modules aligned to the three pillars (Mental Health Programming, Physical Health Programming, Community Health Programming). Distribution occurs through direct partnerships with schools and school districts (mid-market), corporate and foundation sponsorship channels (enterprise), and direct website engagement (individual donors). A separate Alumni Connect program maintains engagement with past participants. The organization holds a Charity Navigator four-star rating, indicating recognized financial health and accountability.

HealthCorps operates a donation-based revenue model with corporate and foundation sponsorship as a secondary funding stream. No revenue, budget, headcount, or program-reach figures are disclosed in the available source material. Marketing channels include a primary website (healthcorps.org), four social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), a Linktree hub, email newsletter signup, and events/conferences. The organization's primary customer segments are high-school-age teens (primary beneficiaries), schools and school districts (program delivery partners), and a non-primary segment of corporate and foundation partners that fund programs in exchange for engagement opportunities.
