HART OF LIFE FOUNDATION

Kristen Hart, Founder of Hart of Life Foundation, brings decades of experience in education, youth advocacy, and community leadership, with a commitment to trauma-informed care and healing-centered service.
"Hart of Life Foundation was born from lived experience, deep service, and an unwavering belief that healing happens in community. After decades of working with youth, families, and communities impacted by trauma, I saw firsthand the gaps in support, and the power of showing up with compassion, consistency, and care.
Hart of Life exists to meet people where they are, restore dignity, and remind every individual that their life has value and purpose. This work is not charity...it is partnership, healing, and hope in action."
— Kristen Hart, Founder
