SEL circle in a York City school

Invest in youth wellness. Strengthen community.

The HEY Project is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) delivering structured, mental-health–informed SEL programming in York County schools. Your support sustains this work — and expands it.

Building access to SEL for York County youth.

York County and surrounding Central Pennsylvania face real gaps in access to social-emotional learning — particularly in under-resourced school communities. The HEY Project was founded to close that gap through structured, consistent, school-based programming that reaches youth where they already are.

As a young organization with strong community partnerships, donor support funds program delivery, facilitator compensation, workshop materials, and the organizational capacity to expand responsibly across Central PA.

Tax-deductible: The H.E.Y. Project Inc. is an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3). EIN: 41-2936932. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
