Our mission
A focus on health
At Health for Humanity, our team is committed to creating a nurturing, educational space where children learn critical life skills. Our focus is cardiac health and CPR/first aid awareness: we want every young person we teach to understand why a healthy heart matters and to know what to do in an emergency.
We partner with local schools, public libraries, and community organizations to bring free workshops directly to students. Every child we reach leaves with the knowledge to one day get certified in these skills — and potentially save a life. We believe anyone, regardless of age, can be ready to help in a moment of need.
Cardiac health
How the heart and blood vessels work, what coronary artery disease is, and the habits that keep a heart healthy for life.
CPR & first aid
Hands-only CPR, abdominal thrusts for choking, and the first steps to take when someone needs help.
AED awareness
What an AED is, where to find one, and how it guides anyone, at any age, through using it.
Our workshops
The heart of our work, taught in rooms just like these.
Workshops are our main focus. Each one is hosted by an HFH chapter in its own community, and each one raises awareness of first aid skills and cardiac and neural health for a room full of kids.
Built on American Heart Association guidelines
Our lessons follow AHA guidance, so what students learn matches what they will see in a real certification course.
Taught by students, for students
High schoolers lead every session. Kids ask more questions, and remember more, when the teacher is only a few years older.
Hands-on and age-appropriate
Slides, demonstrations, and practice designed for elementary and middle schoolers, with plenty of time for questions.
In person or online
Most workshops happen in classrooms and community rooms. We also run sessions over Zoom when that works better for a partner.
Where we teach
We partner with the places kids already go.
Every workshop is free for our partners. If you run a school, library, or youth program, we would love to bring one to you.
Local schools
Elementary and middle schools invite our chapters into classrooms, science labs, and assemblies.
Public libraries
Libraries host free, drop-in workshops that are open to every family in the neighborhood.
Community organizations
Community centers, youth groups, and cultural organizations give us space to reach kids where they already are.
How chapters work
70+ chapters, each run by students in their own county.
Our goal is a chapter in every county in America. Most of them started with one student sending us an email.
