About Us
Mission:
At DesiHeart, our mission is to help neurodiverse students explore emotions, express themselves, and strengthen social and communication skills through performance. We believe every child deserves the chance to find their voice, build their confidence, and be celebrated for who they are.
Founded on July 15, 2020, DesiHeart began as a student-led nonprofit dedicated to supporting families in need. Since then, we’ve supported more than 300 families and trained over 70 volunteer instructors.
Our Story:
While our mission has grown, our values remain the same: passion,honesty, compassion, leadership, teamwork, and commitment. We continue to create opportunities not just for the students we serve, but also for our volunteers—helping them grow into compassionate leaders who embody these values.
Values:
While DesiHeart now primarily focuses on empowering neurodiverse students, our history and ongoing work extend to families who face:
● Special needs support for children and adults
● Financial challenges or low-income circumstances
● Relocation or transition needs, including access to community resources
● Hardship from the pandemic and related difficulties
Through creative, performance-based programs and community partnerships, we provide
support, opportunity, enrichment, and empowerment to families and students. Whether on stage
or in daily life, our goal is simple: to help every heart express and every mind grow.
