Welcome to Heroes Headquarters!

The Heroes Foundation (Heroes) creates safe spaces where children and youth are educated and empowered through development opportunities and mentorship to become self-sustaining contributors to society.

We enable the next generation of heroes from the current generation of children and youth by helping them find the courage and ability within themselves to overcome challenges, unlock their fullest potential, and contribute to building a better world.

Heroes are ordinary people who find the ability within themselves to achieve extraordinary feats.  They dream of a better world, and believe that they can contribute to building that world with the help of others.

With over 500 current participants, an engagement of more than 6000 individuals, and a digital reach of over .77 million, Heroes operates in 31 schools nationwide and digitally, inspiring local and migrant children and youth to unlock their full potential and help build a safer and better society for us all.
