			Different programs have been implemented to improve adolescent health.  Two examples of programs that focused on urban youth can provide examples of what could be implemented for all adolescents. HealthCorps, a national service and peer mentoring initiative, empowers teens in underserved populations to make lifestyle changes to enhance their well-being and resilience.  Since October 2009, Project H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People Excel) staff has been working with inner city high school, middle and elementary school students.
