About Us

"HEAF is accomplishing remarkable things."

President William J. Clinton

At HEAF, we understand that for many underserved students higher education is the key to unlock opportunities to completely transform the trajectory of their lives. From the time our students enter the program, we help them to develop a personal and social work plan to reach their college goals. Whether it is our middle school students taking college tours, our high school students traveling internationally for service learning or studying ethics, or our college students conferencing with corporate volunteers on what they'll need to ensure career success, we are with them every step of the way - helping them to assume ownership of their school and career success.

We engage key community stakeholders, higher education partners, and a highly qualified staff to ensure that students who make the commitment to stay in public schools get all the support, access, and opportunities available to their counterparts attending non-public schools.
