H.A.T.S.

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.

In early December of 2009, H.A.T.S. partnered with The Derryfield School to donate 40 sets of winter accessories to New Hampshire’s Families in Transition. For every hat donated, DS paired it with a scarf and gave faculty and staff an opportunity to attach a personal note to the pair. A special thanks to Colleen Hartnett for coordinating this partnership!
