nrg Powered by Choice has rallied middle and high school students across the Commonwealth to make changes to their school environments to allow themselves, peers, and future generations to have access to healthier options.
These students also know that leading a healthy lifestyle is important to their families and school. That's why, since its initial launch in September 2007, more than 5,400 teens across the state have declared their support for the nrg Powered by Choice campaign.
They've committed to raising awareness about the importance of eating well and being active, adopting these behaviors in their own lives and educating others on why it's important.
From student-run gardens, to after-school hip-hop classes, and healthy mentoring programs, teens have stepped up and taken action to help reverse the childhood obesity epidemic.

“I take part in our school’s nrg Powered by Choice program. nrg is a very good thing that has happened in our school; even kids who don’t usually get involved seem to love the nrg program.”
