About HEART FOR YOUTH USA

Heart for Youth USA is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Santa Clara County, California, that provides one-to-one adult mentorship and group events (called Adventure Days) for at-promise and at-risk youth and young adults (primarily ages 8–25). The organization was founded in the U.S. by Holly Hernandez (Jones) and has operated in the South Bay region for several years; review of public records confirms the EIN 83-1366276 is associated with Heart for Youth USA and with the organization's 990 filings and California corporation registration. In recent years the group has moved from startup toward an early scale-up phase, maintaining volunteer-led mentor matching, running recurring youth events, and reporting modest annual revenues and expenses consistent with a small, community-based mentoring charity.
