About Us

Our Story

The Hallway Hero Project is a non profit organization that was created by a family who has a passion to connect families and provide enhanced safety for our children at school.

Who We Are

The Hallway Hero Project is a nonprofit organization that engages fathers and father figures in a volunteer school program driven to serve schools and students alike.

We strive to engage fathers and father figures to enrich the students as volunteer helpers in multiple capacities and increase their knowledge of what a “school day” looks like for their child. We hope this will bring a new spark to their relationship.

Engaging Fathers


Enriching Students


Thirdly, just as our training focuses on keeping a prepared set of eyes and ears for safety concerns, it also focuses on emotional issues such as bullying or signs of detachment that can be escalated to the school counselor or staff as appropriate.

Serving Schools


Their hallway and parking lot presence also aids in the much-needed additional safety in schools. Our training includes Behavioral Threat Detection training from a long time expert in the field.

What People Are Saying

  • ....I think it’s great having an extra set of eyes watching. During warm days when the kids are outside, it is hard to be in two places at once so whether I’m inside and a HH is outside, or vice versa, knowing that someone else is there watching over the kids is a peace of mind. I know from talking to teachers they absolutely love it and love that there are people who care enough to want to help. I think it’s absolutely wonderful that have Dad’s, Grandparent’s, Uncles, whomever-putting in voluntary hours to just be here. Not only are they doing this for volunteering, but they also get to see their loved ones at school while doing it, and to a child, that’s comforting itself to know that they can say, “my” family member is here to help watch over us. It’s great!

  • We are very fortunate to have The Hallway Hero Project at our school. This program has brought us not only safety but also community. The volunteers love the interaction they have with our students. Similarly, our students love the interaction with the volunteers. Mr. David has been integral in getting our program up and running. The company is very supportive and available whenever we have questions. We are proud to be a part of The Hallway Hero Project.

  • This is one of the most amazing projects I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in. The Hallway Heroes Project allows parents to walk the halls throughout the day assisting teachers and other staff in the cafeteria and on the playground, helping to make sure outside doors are securely locked, and being an extra set of eyes in the hallway to make sure our children feel safe. This positive interaction with all of our wonderful kids makes such a huge difference in their day! We also are available to help any of the teachers in their classroom, if they request assistance. It would be amazing for this to be available in every school!
