Since its inception in 2004, H.A.T.S has been providing fleece hats for underprivileged or uncared for youth nationally and internationally. The organization particularly values its youth volunteers and aims to inspire and facilitate acts of service in America’s young adults while encouraged all volunteers to build personal relationships despite difference. Our hope is that the nature of this service-learning project will inspire young adults to recognize their talents and use them positively.
Heather spoke about the project at the Goffstown Rotary Club in July of 2009. After receiving extremely positive feedback, Heather was notified in October that she was selected to receive the “Citizen of the Year” award.
