Superheroes don’t change the world. Ordinary people do!
The IE in our name stands for I’m Enough. We believe ordinary people can create real change in the world.
Redefining what serving others looks like by focusing on connection, character, & progress.
Ordinarie Heroes is dedicated to addressing educational and health disparities so young people can succeed.
We are committed to dismantling systemic barriers faced by historically marginalized youth, enabling them to realize their full potential, while actively pursuing food justice within their communities. Through youth leadership development and community wellness initiatives, we empower communities by addressing systemic barriers. Our youth programs support young people of color with sessions on violence prevention, trauma, and substance use, alongside academic and post-secondary assistance. Our wellness initiatives promote sustainable solutions to food inequities through our mobile pantry and educational farm, building resilience and long-term empowerment.
We’re dedicated to helping youth reach their full potential.

Promoting food stability and health and wellness is a priority for us.
We believe in a justice-centered approach to empowering youth, recognizing that their well-being is deeply connected to the health of the environments they live in. Our community wellness initiatives address systemic inequities in access to nutritious food and education, which disproportionately impact Black and brown communities. The cycle of health disparities cannot be broken without equitable solutions that prioritize both access and empowerment. Building healthier communities starts with addressing the root causes of inequity. Through our mobile pantry and educational farm, we deliver fresh produce and shelf-stable items directly to neighbors, while our nutrition education workshops equip families with the knowledge and resources to sustain healthier lives and advocate for lasting change.
