Who We Are
H.A.R.T. Mentorship Program is a passionate non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting at-risk teens and guiding them toward a brighter future. Founded on the belief that every young person deserves safety, stability, and opportunity, H.A.R.T. provides a safe haven where vulnerable youth can find the support, resources, and encouragement they need to overcome life’s challenges.
Our president, Jennifer Drone, knows firsthand the struggles of homelessness—having once been a homeless teen herself. Her journey fuels her unwavering commitment to ensuring that no young person feels alone or hopeless. Under her leadership, H.A.R.T. offers mentorship, educational support, career development, and essential services to help teens regain their footing and build a better future.
More than just a shelter, H.A.R.T. is a place where resilience is nurtured, dreams are reignited, and futures are rewritten. By working hand in hand with our community, volunteers, and dedicated professionals, we are breaking the cycle of youth homelessness and creating a world where every teen has the chance to thrive.
