Our Philosophy
PAPERHEARTS
We are a student-led nonprofit dedicated to fighting loneliness, trauma, and isolation through the simple, tactile power of arts and crafts.
Our Story
"Art is the thread that stitches hearts together — across generations, languages, and lifetimes." We started this because the world felt chaotic, and we were tired of waiting for someone else to fix it. We chose paper and glue as our tools to mend the gap between the youth, the elderly, and those in foster care.
Elderly Love
%of seniors in nursing homes suffer from chronic loneliness. We use craft booths to ensure they are seen, connected, and never forgotten.
Foster Welfare
%of foster children face neglect-related trauma. Our sessions provide a safe creative outlet to process emotions and build self-worth.
Meetups
Every month, we hit the streets. We set up stands in public areas to bridge the gap between our mission and the community.
