Youth MOVE PA's

Wellness Days

In 2021, Youth MOVE PA launched Wellness Days across various regions across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The initiative aimed to unite youth and young adults for a day of engaging activities and outdoor experiences. Participants took part in educational workshops, team-building exercises, art sessions, and other activities designed to foster leadership skills and provide opportunities for personal growth and skill development. Wellness Days are complimentary events that feature food, games, and various fun giveaways. Community organizations participate to engage attendees, discuss their roles within the community, and emphasize the importance of youth involvement.

In the summer of 2025, Youth MOVE PA is thrilled to announce the 5th Annual Wellness Days Carnival Edition, "Shattering the Stigma," which will take place in two distinct regions across Pennsylvania, each hosted at a local park. This year's event promises to be a vibrant celebration for children, young adults, family members, and service providers alike. Attendees can look forward to a variety of activities, including a DJ, music, guest speakers, community resource booths, balloon art, face painting, food trucks, a bouncy house, arts and crafts, and opportunities to meet first responders—all offered free of charge.

We express our heartfelt gratitude for the remarkable partnerships and sponsorships that have contributed to making this year's 5th Annual Wellness Days Carnival Edition, "Shattering the Stigma," our most successful yet. This year's partners and sponsors include The PA Care Partnership, Luzerne-Wyoming Counties, PerformCare, Carelon, Capital Area Behavioral Health Collaborative, the Transitional Age Youth & Young Adult Advisory Group (TAAG) of Carelon, AMI Inc., The Bradley Center, Pyramid Healthcare Inc., Children Service Center of Wyoming Valley, Youth MOVE Revolution, and The Pennsylvania Mental Health Consumers’ Association.
