We’re excited to welcome James “Jim” Mullen as the next President and leader of the HV3 Foundation.
Since 2019, the HV3 Foundation has worked to provide youth with opportunity through mentoring, engagement, and sport. Jim joins us with more than two decades of experience in leadership, relationship building, and fundraising, most recently serving as President and CEO of Catholic Charities in Cleveland and previously United Way in Akron.
“Changing lives is not done without rolling your sleeves up,” Jim shared. “What Harold has put into play allows a community to wrap their arms around a child and change lives one at a time, for generations to come. I couldn’t be happier to work with Harold and this dedicated board to impact kids.”
Harold Varner III added, “We took our time and looked far and wide for the right leader. James is the guy who can take our work to another level and drive real impact for the kids we serve. We couldn’t be more excited.”
Today, the HV3 Foundation partners with organizations across North and South Carolina and Northeast Ohio, supporting nearly 200 youth through our mentorship programs. With Jim’s leadership, we’re ready to grow that impact even further.
Welcome to the HV3 family, Jim. The future is bright.
