Project Insight is a youth empowerment program for high school students to learn about health justice, disaster preparedness, and community resilience.

Our Vision

Educate, empower, and learn from the next generation of young public health leaders.

Our Mission

Develop critical consciousness for health justice issues and foster advocacy and leadership in collaboration with youth from the District of Columbia and Prince George County.

The COVID-19 pandemic was a global disaster that exacerbated health outcomes for children, especially those belonging to under-served and under-resourced communities. We believe children themselves are stakeholders of their own well-being, and thus, should be empowered as contributory change-agents.

We choose the name “Project Insight” because we hope this program will empower youth to gain insight about the root causes of health injustices while simultaneously providing a national coalition called the Pediatric Pandemic Network and other stakeholders with insight on how to address these challenges.
