WHO WE ARE
The Beyond Project provides beauty & wellness professionals with an outlet to use their talents for good. We are a dynamic coalition of volunteers who apply our beauty & wellness knowledge to charity events to empower and inspire those who need it most, creating social impact through what we do best.
PROBLEM WE SOLVE
Individuals in need of beauty & wellness services at nonprofits lack the resources for personal care services. Volunteers seeking opportunities in the community cannot find locations to serve or need a team to support. Along with providing donated hygiene & beauty supplies from brands.
THE BEYOND PROJECT AT A GLANCE
The Beyond Project was founded in Seattle in 2015 as a bridge between beauty professionals and nonprofit organizations that serve women, men and children with haircuts and hygiene related care that are facing unimaginable circumstances of domestic violence, human trafficking, foster families, veterans, homelessness and more. Your contribution will support in expanding our programs to serve more individuals. As we continue to fulfill our mission to connect these professionals to those in our community who need it most, your partnership as a volunteer, monthly donor, and advocate of The Beyond Project is your investment into each woman, man and child who you are providing dignity and self worth as you give the gift of personal care services.
