About
The Wellness Program Finder is a searchable database of programs relating to food, nutrition, environmental science, physical health, mental health, and much more! These programs serve New York City PreK-12 public schools, and are run by nonprofits, hospitals, companies, government agencies, and universities.
Our goal is to create an inclusive database to showcase the breadth of programming available to NYC schools.
Submit a Program
If your organization is a program provider for NYC PreK-12 students, we invite you to submit your program(s) for inclusion in our database.
If you would like to update a previously submitted program, please email us at tischfoodcenter@tc.columbia.edu

Who is this Database For?
The database was designed for three key audiences:
- School community members such as school leaders, parents, teachers, after-school organizers, to find programs for their students.
- Program organizers to identify, learn from, and collaborate with partners.
- Funders and policymakers to be informed of the landscape of programming in NYC schools.
How Was Information for the Database Collected?
The database was created in collaboration with the Tisch Food Center and the New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene. Organizations self-select and submit program information using our program survey.
This information is not vetted by the Tisch Food Center, the New York City Department of Health & Mental Hygiene, or New York City Department of Education. The programs listed are not comprehensive or inclusive of ALL programs available.
Is the Database Updated?
This database is periodically updated with new/updated information about programs. Please reach out to the program or visit their website for the most up-to-date information.
Who Should I Contact if I Have Questions About the Database?
