How UGA HEROs membership works

There Are Many Ways to Be a HERO

UGA HEROs depends entirely on the dedication of our collegiate members to raise money throughout the year. One of the unique aspects of our organization is that it is entirely student-run on campus.

UGA students can be as involved as they choose; our membership is grouped into different levels of participation and commitment.

In the Fall, membership starts off with signing up Philanthropists, our most basic but most important group of fundraisers! Philanthropists can apply to join the Freshman Council, a group of philanthropists that have that ‘extra something’. Philanthropists are led by Team Leaders, who work during part of the Spring to prepare for signing up new Philanthropists each August.

In the Spring, any philanthropist can apply to be a Committee Member on one of our thirteen committees. From there, especially dedicated committee members can apply to be on the UGA HEROs Executive Council. Each level of membership involves various fundraising goals and meetings.
