Drawing from our legacy as a student-founded organization, Heart for the Unhoused employs a leadership system that promotes from within, emphasizing mentorship and organizational growth within the social impact space. From project leads to chairs to presidents, our executive board is still staffed by students — engaging in the operational oversight and professional management of a registered non-profit.
