Happy Kids, Healthy Kids (HKHK) is a volunteer organization that aims to be an active part of the solution to the childhood obesity epidemic. Several schools in low-income communities do not have the funding nor the resources to provide health education for children, resulting in an increased prevalence of diabetes and obesity. Through a volunteer-run, structured after-school program at elementary schools in Charlottesville and the Boys and Girls Club of Central Virginia, we aim to offer exciting and informative nutrition and physical activity sessions for children, as well as provide parents with information to help maintain healthy habits in their children and themselves. Some examples of nutrition lessons we teach are food groups, how to read and understand nutrition labels, and how to prepare healthy snacks. Moreover, we target our lessons to incorporate both mental and physical health guidance. We hope to defeat childhood obesity in America and build lifelong healthy habits in elementary students, one school at a time. 

Hearts for the Homeless UVA chapter contributes to the well-being of one of the most vulnerable populations in our nation through education, blood pressure screening opportunities, and granting students the ability to volunteer and truly understand the Charlottesville community. Specifically, students will perform blood pressure screenings, mental health assessments, and make care packages for the local homeless population.

Hoos Against Hunger is dedicated to creating an accessible community where UVA students can engage with organizations in Charlottesville that are dedicated to fighting hunger on a local, regional, and national scale. We are a student hub for volunteer opportunities so students have the choice and the freedom to engage with community partners. We will meet on and off grounds to encourage conversations between UVA students and volunteers from the greater Charlottesville area about how they can work together to fight food insecurity. We will foster an environment of accountability, transparency, and accessibility for all volunteers. 

Hoos for Life seeks to promote awareness and understanding of all aspects of the pro-life movement at UVA and in the surrounding community by hosting speakers and educational events, distributing informational flyers around grounds, and tabling on the lawn. It seeks to educate students about pro-life issues and encourage them to support and promote the dignity of human life. Hoos for Life also works to serve women who have been affected by abortions and to improve resources for current UVA students who have children or are currently pregnant.

Our Mission: We aim to spread awareness and be a driving force for change to help those afflicted with degenerative cognitive illnesses such as Alzheimer's and Dementia. Join Hoos for Memory in the fight to end Alzheimer’s Disease!

Hoos for Navy Seals came together with the purpose of providing fitness events to the UVA community, while also raising funds for a cause near our hearts. We are spending time and effort, in partnership with the Navy Seal Foundation, to improve the lives of struggling veterans and other military officials. The Navy Seal Foundation granted our request to use their logo and name in the promotion of our organization. We will host bi-annual fitness events on grounds, welcome to all participants, with an entry fee of $15.00. The event will promote an active and healthy campus, while we donate 100% of our proceeds to the Navy Seal Foundation. It will consist of a mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, and 300 squats, followed up by another mile. There will be shortened versions of this workout available to the participants, as the full thing will obviously be very strenuous on the body. We believe that a partnership with the University will legitimize our organization, and open the door to new opportunities with other Contracted Independent Organizations. 

We were founded on the principle of if you want to make change, you have to do it yourself. Although creating and implementing policy is effective at a higher level, we believe that in order to push the boundaries of student engagement, we need to incorporate student accountability with active participation. We participate in weekly clean-ups at the Corner, Mad Bowl, JPA and various other locations on and off grounds, which is quickly followed by trips to Bodo's for a post clean-up meal. We aim to create a fun, welcoming, and respectful environment.
