I joined Heart & Purpose, as a Board Member, in 2021 because I saw a group of professionals that were committed to making change in their communities, stateside and abroad; I believed in their mission and felt strongly that I would be able to contribute positively. Since then, I have been consistently inspired by the sheer dedication and determination members and volunteers have displayed, all in honor of making sure our young people are given an opportunity to access the resources they need to reach their goals.
My experience with the Heart & Purpose Organization has been humbling because it is managed by a group of passionate professionals who broke cultural, social and financial barriers to become productive members of society. I am impressed by their willingness to step out of their comfort zone to reach out to students who are underserved and underrepresented in our community as well as in Haiti.
I joined a little less than a year ago. I am proud to be part of a team of young professionals who share my values and are committed to serve their community. We have little resources, however, everyone in the team puts their hearts in everything they do and they are passionate about their mission. Their enthusiasm is so contagious. The team has a strong understanding of the needs of the people they serve, and they offer great solutions within their budget. Indeed, I am proud to be part of an organization with that has such a profound impact on the community.
Great nonprofit, they’ve been able to help countless of families in Fairfield county. Whether it be back to school events or the scholarship they provide, cannot wait to see what they do as they’re growing
I've been with Heart & Purpose for the past 6 years. I have to admit that it's been an honor and privilege to work alongside such professionals and like-minded individuals who are so eager to make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate.
"Find something you love, and you will never work a day in your life". The more I think about it, the more I'm realizing the people I'm surrounded by, embodies the aforementioned saying.
Despite the challenges, the first 6 years have been nothing but memorable. I'm excited to see what the next 60 have to offer.
I have been with Heart & Purpose since the beginning. It has been a pleasure serving alongside a group of professionals who are passionate about empowering communities, mentoring and supporting youth! Though the work on top of our 9-5 or school, it is fun, necessary and absolutely worth it!
I have been a member since 2017 and through the ups and downs, highs, and lows, we've held on steadfast to our belief in the youth and the necessity to invest in them and guide them towards a better future. We've worked with countless others who share the same dream and continue to seek more. We've seen people come through our programs, and our org in all types of facets. seen them grow and shine. our members put in ton of hours to ensure our growth and commitment to those we serve, all at no financial gain. We know that there are incredible needs within the communities we serve, and pressures (economic, academic quality, mental health, and many more) are all around making things even more challenging.
Our belief is that as the world becomes more competitive, more expensive, harder to be happy, harder to find success, we must rise to meet the challenges. We want to give the youth we work with as many tools as possible to keep them competitive and help them win and help them make their lives purposeful!
