HEROES is committed to promoting the educational, social and emotional development of profoundly gifted students by

  • Facilitating the creation of educational resources for the profoundly gifted

  • Informing parents, educators and profoundly gifted students about appropriately challenging educational opportunities

  • Reducing barriers that prevent profoundly gifted students from accessing educational opportunities that can meet their needs

  • Creating opportunities for profoundly gifted students to interact socially

 

Some of our activities to date have been:

  • Educational programs, including annual conferences at the Rutgers University Inn.

  • Family events such as Summer Pool Parties, Outdoor Laser Tag Rock Climbing & Family Game Nights

  • Working with Rutgers to make their resources accessible to the profoundly gifted

 

We are currently working on:

  • Applying for non-profit status

  • Planning our next conference which will be held in January, 2011 at the Rutgers University Inn and Conference Center

  • Developing relationships with mentors and research opportunities for the profoundly gifted.

  • Developing relationships with other universities, public school administrators and private industry to provide more opportunities for the profoundly gifted

  • Planning additional social events

 

Our goals of serving the profoundly gifted population and eventually creating a school for this population will take many years and much money. We have no paid staff and depend entirely on volunteers to support our efforts. We welcome any support that you can provide.
