Support our goal of empowering the houseless and elevating biodiversity in the Bay Area

Hear from our unhoused volunteers and student leaders here!

Every $16 contributed will fund an hour of employment for an unhoused citizen and mean an additional hour is spent on restoring biodiversity in our urban environment.

All donations received are channeled directly towards stipends for houseless volunteers and the advancement of upcoming projects. All donations are 100% tax-deductible since Beyond Terra is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Beyond Terra and Houseless Environmental Volunteers Initiative (HEVI) are thrilled to announce a partnership to empower the houseless community by offering them green volunteer opportunities, promoting self-sufficiency, and facilitating a positive change in the lives of vulnerable populations.

We are providing unhoused volunteers a $16/hour stipend to engage in environmental conservation work. The initiative engages these individuals in crucial activities, such as tree planting, weed pruning, and mulching. As a result, volunteers not only play a pivotal role in biodiversity restoration but also acquire invaluable work experience and skills.
