Vitality Development Foundation Inc.
Building Stronger, Healthier Futures for Youth.
WHO WE ARE
Vitality Development Foundation Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2023, dedicated to the physical and emotional health of young people in Riverside, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County. We help youth build the skills, relationships, and habits needed to navigate life's challenges - combining athletic training, mental health support, nutrition and wellness education, and hands-on community service. Since 2023, we've worked with more than 1,500 young people across Southern California.
WHY DO WE EXIST
Young people today face rising rates of childhood obesity, diabetes, and mental health struggles - often with limited access to the resources that could help. We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to feel healthy, connected, capable, and supported. Vitality Development Foundation exists to close that gap: providing the physical activity, health education, mentorship, and community connection young people need to grow into resilient, healthy, engaged adults.
WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO
We run programs that address the whole young person - body and mind. That means structured boxing and fitness training to fight obesity and build discipline, one-on-one mentorship and counseling to build emotional resilience, health and nutrition education to prevent diabetes and other chronic conditions, and volunteer service projects that teach youth the value of giving back to their own community.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to fighting childhood obesity and diabetes and building lifelong healthy habits in young people through athletic training, mentorship, counseling, and community volunteer service - giving every youth the tools to lead a healthier, stronger, more confident life
