heartprints inc. is a community driven | positive impact 501(c)(3) approved non-profit organization that improves the lives of youth, families, and our communities through the focus areas of Mentoring | Jobs | Outreach to help people live a successful life.



We partner with schools, shelters, and other organizations to provide mentoring, tutoring, and materials, and supplies for those in need to improve education, leadership, decision making, and opportunities. Our CincyJobSpace initiative connects people to job leads, guidance, and resources for re-employment, general career related activities, and ways to volunteer as well.

Our Outreach consists of connecting our mentoring and jobs efforts to the materials, supplies, and other items to assist with basic needs so people can “go beyond the basics” to live a life of significance, respect, and success.



We not only provide our services in the Cincinnati, OH area, but have connected with schools, shelters, orphanages, and other organizations with mutual initiatives and values to collaborate on providing our assistance by sending clothes, food, health products, and educational supplies. Our international Outreach includes Nigeria (Lagos), Ghana (Accra), Mali, the Central African Republic, and the Honduras (La Ceiba).



Our partnerships are with Crimson Outreach and the Think!! Campaign. Collaborating with Crimson Outreach has allowed us to utilize the sales of coffee (“Coffee With A Cause!”) from the local Honduran community to assist in building a middle class, opportunities, as well as provide assistance such as how we helped build 3 homes, a school, and a water pump for residents. While mentoring we discovered that 30% of youth in the shelters we had assisted over the years would see jail and or prison one or more times in their life. While mentoring inmates, Think!! discovered the pattern of “thinking about consequences to actions” arose in each inmate’s story of civilian to prison example were the same. Think!! profiled the stories of African Americans, Latinos, and Caucasians, male, female, rich, and poor to connect this powerful message not only to inmates, but to inspire youth to consider their decision making as well.



Our partnerships and collaborations allow heartprints inc. to support our efforts towards sustainability and long term impact through the Development our Think!! DVD and Curriculum partnership, as well as coffee sales from “Coffee With A Cause!”. We also invite participation and support by Volunteering and Outreach through mentoring/tutoring, events, projects, and other initiatives. This along with depending on the generosity of Individual Contributions, Leadership Gifts from Donors (Cincinnatian Society), Corporate Donations, Grants, Sponsorships, and the donations of educational supplies, health products, and basic need items allow us to serve youth, families, and others through our community driven outreach efforts we lead.
