About Us
Welcome to Happy Planet, a dedicated organization committed to making a meaningful impact in our communities. Founded on the principles of compassion, equity, and social justice, we strive to empower individuals and create opportunities for everyone to thrive.
Our History
Our journey began in 2011 as a small daycare center offering reduced-cost and free childcare services for low-income families in New Jersey. Recognizing the broader needs within our community, we evolved into a comprehensive nonprofit organization, expanding our reach and services to support a wide array of community needs. From organizing events to promote and raise funds for local education programs to rescuing a large building in the Bronx, NY from bankruptcy and demolition, our efforts have transformed lives and neighborhoods. Today, we are proud to continue our legacy of service and support, driven by a dedicated team and a passionate commitment to our mission.
Our Impacts
Since our inception, we have made significant strides in improving the lives of those we serve. Our community centers and supportive housing initiatives have provided safe and stable environments for countless individuals. Our youth programs have equipped young people with the tools they need to succeed, and our support for women and families has helped them build better futures.
By addressing the needs of the homeless, disabled, and veterans, we have helped many regain their independence and dignity.
Our Team
Our team is the heart of our organization. Comprising dedicated professionals and passionate volunteers, we work tirelessly to achieve our mission. Our staff brings a wealth of experience and expertise, ensuring our programs are effective and impactful. Together, we are committed to making a difference and building a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
