What is Pons Nova?

Pons Nova is a nonprofit that empowers first-generation children through health education. We teach healthy habits like nutrition, movement, mindfulness, and self-care, all while celebrating each child’s cultural background.

Who does Pons Nova serve?

We primarily serve first-generation immigrant and refugee children between the ages of 6–14. These are children growing up in the U.S. with parents born abroad, often navigating multiple cultures at once.

What kind of programs do you offer?

Our programs include:

• Mindful arts & crafts

• Culturally inclusive reading circles

• Nutrition and hygiene education

• Leadership and public speaking workshops

• Physical activities like movement games, yoga, and dance

• Donation drives for school and hygiene supplies
