   • HAF Educators: These educators raise awareness about alternative approaches to subjects such as environmental care and maternity/parenthood.
   • HAF Seminars: Monthly seminars on philosophy, economics, science, and other subjects.

3. Good Deeds: This charitable program provides support to those in need through initiatives like:

   • CPR Training: Red Cross-certified training sessions organized by HAF trustee Tynan Mohney, with the foundation covering 50% of the course fee.
   • Blood Drives: Regular blood drives at the community center.
   • Winter Coat Drive: Collecting winter coats for families in need, in collaboration with other local charities.
   • Homeschool Resources: Study groups and resources for homeschooling families.
