Founded by McConaughey and his partner, Camila Alves, the j.k. livin Foundation provides after-school programs for thousands of teens in large, inner-city high schools. The foundation works with schools across the nation and in other parts of the world, with students learning to set attainable goals, plan nutritious meals, exercise and give back to their communities.

THINK Together already provides services that include after-school tutoring, summer enrichment and other programs to dozens of local schools in Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, and surrounding areas.

Through the program, participating students will receive healthy snacks and learn about nutrition. They will also learn about fitness through workouts including running and lifting weights.

McConaughey and THINK Together representatives will officially announce their new partnership Saturday at the nonprofit's annual fundraising gala at the Anaheim Hilton. (Read Complete Story)
