About Us
Let’s Go! Gulf Coast
Let’s Go! Gulf Coast, formerly The Mississippi Gulf Coast Youth Health Coalition, was founded in 2013, with an initial focus on combating childhood obesity. Our main program, Let’s Go! Gulf Coast, is adapted from a nationally recognized childhood obesity prevention program. We proudly enlist the Gulf Coast Community Foundation as our fiscal sponsor.
We are a public/private partnership with a mission of working to address priority health issues of youth on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. All of our programs focus on promoting healthy lifestyles and are designed to engage participants across the lifespan through diverse and varied platforms, in order to create the greatest and most sustainable impact possible for our youth and communities. Since 2013, we have successfully served thousands of individuals across the Mississippi Gulf Coast. We also maintain an open-door policy for program observation and cooperative learning.
Let’s Go! Gulf Coast currently operates within Jackson, Harrison, and Hancock Counties and we utilize an inclusive, multi-setting approach to combat childhood obesity which allows the programs to serve people of all genders, age, races, ethnicities, physical ability, and socioeconomic status.
