Meet the Heart

Behind the Work

A Message from Our Founder & President

At Center for the Heart, we believe in leading with compassion, purpose, and people. Whether you’re exploring a role as a board member, intern, or volunteer—or simply learning about who we are and what we do—this message is for you.

Watch this video from our Founder & President, Holly Strelzik, where she shares:

  • The heart behind Center for the Heart’s mission

  • What we actually do—from grief-informed education to advocacy and family care support

  • The vital role of board members, interns, and volunteers in our community model

  • Why your time, voice, and energy matter more than you know

We Can’t Do This Without You

Every role—whether advisory, creative, administrative, or relational—is rooted in impact. You don’t need to be an expert in grief care or nonprofit work. You just need a heart for people and a willingness to grow with us.

Whether you help us host events, build systems, tell stories, support families, or spread the word—your contributions make our mission possible.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for listening.
And most of all—thank you for caring.
