Human Committee

What We Do

 

The Human Committee is devoted to philanthropic campaigns both locally and globally. Human Committee members coordinate and execute projects designed to raise money and awareness for serious humanitarian issues.

Our members earn service hours through service projects ranging from feeding the homeless with left-over dining hall meals, to hosting campus underwear run-clothing drives for foreign orphanages.

Want to help?

IT’S EASY!

Find the chapter at your school and tell them you would like to join, HEAT chapters are located across the state (See above for complete list).

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS

1. Contact H.E.A.T. Corporate

2. Once approved, you become a ‘Pre-HEAT,’ a recognized inactive chapter. You remain a ‘Pre-HEAT’ until you have established an executive board of directors, including a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and directors for each committee.

3. When you have everything in order, you’re ready to become an active HEAT chapter, gaining members and changing the world!

WHY DONATE?

HOW TO DONATE

If you would like to donate to The H.E.A.T. Establishment, contact H.E.A.T. Corporate. If you would like to sponsor an event or project at a specific university, contact that chapter’s president and he or she will be more than happy to work with you every step of the way, from informing you what projects you can support to showing you the positive results your money and time as yielded.
