Black youth and YPOC face seemingly insurmountable odds every day within their homes, their schools and their neighborhoods. They survive poverty, violence, depression,  Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE's) , hopelessness and trauma. But HERO is an Anchor for young people! Our Wellness team and therapists, nurses, social workers, and coaches; engage youth in social-emotional learning, fitness activities and ART making . For the past 6.5 years, HERO has provided three Anchor programs as solutions:

• CampusReady

• HEROGirls​

• YoungHEROsCook

AND despite the COVID-19 pandemic, our youth leadership team gathered virtually every week during the Summer of 2020, cultivating The Collective: #BlackYouth4Justice and #YoungEntrepreneursClub.

I. Heal  InterGenerational Trauma
