GREATER NEW BEDFORD YOUTH ALLIANCE
We envision a diverse community in which success is within reach for all children.
The Marion Institute is building a movement. We engage individuals and communities in an integrative approach to whole-body health. We educate and empower by supporting, connecting and applying the science of self-healing. We believe optimal health is a basic human right, not a privilege.
Through education and on the ground programming, MI works with individuals, communities and institutions to support systemic change towards a culture of health.

Current Programs
Grow Education: supports the revitalization of New Bedford Public school’s meal service to provide high quality nutrition through fresh, healthy, local and culturally relevant meals. Through curriculum support to teachers, and the creation of outdoor classroom gardens, the Farm to School project is integrated into the classroom, cafeteria and community.
Southcoast Food Policy Council: is working to connect, convene, and advocate for local food producers, consumers, and community leaders who seek policy and systems that strengthen our regional food system, improve community health, and eliminate food insecurity.
Biological Medicine Network: is working to advance healthcare by expanding patient options for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of illness. With a focus on natural approaches to whole body health, BMN connects patients with health practitioners who are changing medicine and changing lives with their innovative approaches.
