STUDENT INTERNSHIP

We believe in empowering our students to change and impact local communities with love, kindness, and compassion. Throughout inner city communities thousands of parents struggle to support their family and bring a different life for their kids
We have developed four projects thru the year that is solely ran by our students to impact local communities and develop skills for their future careers. These projects are going to teach leadership, accountability, responsibility, marketing, sales, and business structure. It only takes one student to change the world
HOW DO YOU WANT TO IMPACT THE WORLD
Giving students the opportunity to think outside the box and be creative is important in growing into being who they are!
We encourage our students to generate ideas and come up with a project that provides support to their communities! Whatever the group decides to do that year is what HEIVN will support.
BACK TO SCHOOL BAGS
Several thousands of students attend a new school year with out having the proper materials to support their growth in education. Many kids do not have backpacks, writing utensils, notepads, or folders.
At HEIVN our students form an outreach to bless an Inner City School with providing these materials to students!
FEEDING PEOPLE IN NEED
Millions of Families each year are not able to provide food for Thanksgiving to their family. Its a issue that continues to grow each year and HEIVN's students want to help!
The students put together a FULL Thanksgiving Meal and personally bless families in their local communities that are in need!
