PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Our cornerstone program. Provides intensive, multi-year academic enrichment, individualized advising, social-emotional learning, and college access support for students in grades 6–12, with continued guidance through college. Students engage in after-school and summer programming that builds skills, confidence, leadership, and readiness for postsecondary success.

HEAF Inspire

Inspire expands access by delivering school- and community-based academic enrichment and college access programming in partnership with public high schools and community organizations. HEAF advisors and instructors are embedded in partner sites, offering in-school support, financial aid guidance, and career exposure to students who might otherwise lack these resources.

HEAF Community

HEAF Community opens select college access, enrichment, and family engagement opportunities—such as workshops, panels, and resource fairs—to students and families across New York City. These citywide programs strengthen access to information, reinforce a college-going culture, and extend HEAF’s impact beyond its core cohorts.
