How to build healthy communities?

Building Healthy Communities starts with you.

When you think of a healthy community, it can actually mean a lot of things. Typically, a healthy community is dependent on the people who formulate it, the environment where a quality education system is implemented, safe neighborhoods with low crime rate and continuous flow of healthy employment opportunities that will nurture the community residents. Building such healthy communities is not possible by a single person's effort, instead, it has to be a collaborative effort where people come together and build sustainable community.

Hence, there are several ways to build a healthier community. NYXT partners with reputable content partners that focus on community building initiatives such as health, education and youth. Check out a few organizations below that promote different ways to promote and build healthy communities.
