Matt Haroldsen

Matt was born and raised hugging trees in Oregon, did 10 years of adulating in New York and humanitarian outreach efforts that have taken him all over the world. Matt recently made a huge change, hanging up his international wings and moved to mountainous Utah where the suicide rates of LGBTQ youth was continually rising. His efforts presently have him working as Volunteers of America’s Homeless Youth Rapid Re-Housing Program Manager. “ I feel fortunate that I get to do the work I am presently doing. To watch these strong youth living on these harsh streets here, rediscover their personal empowerment, helping them to find their footing, get into a job and eventually into their very own apartment... I get to be like a proud uncle all the time. Their strength inspires me”. Matt is beyond stoked to be prepping and heading back to NYC for the 5th year of SPICE Up Some Lives benefit with the beautiful SPICE Team. “ It’s ALL about LOVE”.
