Our organization was founded as Scopa Has a Dream in 2011 by Healdsburg restaurateurs Ari Rosen and Dawnelise Regnery Rosen. Their dream of creating more opportunities for those facing inequalities started as a nonprofit they were nurturing on the side of managing two restaurants, Scopa and Campo Fina. Their efforts grew rapidly since then to meet demand and also inspired a new name: Corazón Healdsburg. We now serve thousands of low-income clients across Northern Sonoma County with a rich offering of programs from our headquarters in the Healdsburg Community Center. We offer educational programs for the entire family, but our three most notable ones are our FirstGen College Counseling Program that supports low income, first generation public high school in every aspect of high school academics, our Kinder2College College Savings Program that opens 529 college savings accounts for kindergartners in 4 public school districts, and our portfolio of Adult Education offerings that provide desperately needed education for our adult clients on topics such as GED, ESL, financial literacy, early childhood care, and computer skills.

Our mission is to bridge the racial and economic divide in Northern Sonoma County. Corazón offers programs to improve health and wellbeing for all who live and work in our area through innovative partnerships and community driven programming. Working with youth and their families, Corazón aims to break cycles of poverty and improve quality of life for those we serve.
We measure each of our programs constantly and utilize our database, Salesforce, for as much information as possible. For each of our aforementioned programs, our measures are as follows: FirstGen College Counseling Program measures almost every academic aspect of each of our students' 9th to 12th grade journeys; Kinder2College College Savings Program measures outreach efforts, number of enrolled students, and transactions/balances for each hosted 529 account; Adult Education measures outreach, course sign ups, course participation, and course completion, as well as the number of courses taken overall for a specific individual in our database.
