For Foundations & Funders
Invest in scalable,
community-rooted prevention.
H.E.Y. expands access to mental-health–informed skill-building through trusted community channels — so youth and young adults can build coping skills, emotional awareness, confidence, and belonging.
The Opportunity
Prevention-oriented. Community-rooted. Scalable.
York County and surrounding Central Pennsylvania have significant gaps in accessible social-emotional learning resources — especially for youth and families in under-resourced communities. H.E.Y. was built to close that gap.
We deliver SEL workshops through trusted community channels — schools, after-school programs, and community partnerships — making support accessible to the people who need it most. Our model is grassroots, low-overhead, and designed to grow.
