Healthy Youth USA

What Healthy Youth USA does

Healthy Youth USA, formally The Healthy Youth USA Foundation, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Charles Sharper in 2005 (with operations beginning in 2004 via the Charles Sharper Basketball Camp of Champions) and headquartered in Dunwoody, Georgia. The organization provides youth development programming for elementary-age children in the Sandy Springs and Dunwoody metropolitan area, with a stated mission of enhancing lives through mentorship, arts initiatives, and recreational enrichment while combating childhood obesity and self-care risks for latchkey children. Its core deliverable is the After School Club, a year-round supervised care program with daily transportation pickup from three North Springs district elementary schools (Woodland Charter, Ison Springs, and Dunwoody Springs), serving over 100 students daily with mentorship, physical activity, performing arts, snacks, and curriculum materials.

The product portfolio is centered on four programs: the After School Club (the primary recurring service), a seasonal Summer Camp, the Good Basketball League (a seven-week youth basketball league for ages 6-14 with emphasis on equal playing time and sportsmanship), and the annual Arts Program/Holiday Play and Talent Show. The organization also hosts the Women Set GO Awards (2026 event referenced on site). There is no proprietary technology stack; service delivery is in-person at the North Atlanta Family Enrichment Center (5676 Roberts Drive, on the North Atlanta Church of Christ campus), with enrollment handled through the third-party Procare Connect platform.

The revenue model combines tuition (After School Club at $75/week with a one-time $50 family registration fee, plus late-pickup fees of $20 per occurrence), seasonal program registration fees (Summer Camp, Good Basketball League), and contributed income including donations (via Zeffy and GiveSmart), the Kroger Community Rewards community rebate program (Kroger ID #39916), and scholarship funding that subsidizes qualifying families. Customer acquisition is community-led via word-of-mouth, school partnerships, and the Sandy Springs Chamber of Commerce membership. Headcount is 1-10 employees, and the organization does not disclose revenue figures publicly.
