Meet the Team
President
Madison Han
Hi! My name is Madison Han, and I am a rising senior at Chantilly High School and the President of Hiking Heroes. I joined Hiking Heroes in 2023 and quickly developed a passion for the organization's mission of promoting environmental stewardship and community involvement. Through participating in hikes, cleanups, service projects, and outreach initiatives, I have seen how students can come together to make a meaningful impact in their communities and protect the environment we all share.
Outside of Hiking Heroes, I enjoy hiking with friends, reading, watercolor painting, and playing sports. As President, I look forward to expanding our membership, creating more opportunities for students to connect with nature, and inspiring future leaders to take action in their communities. I am excited to continue helping Hiking Heroes grow while making a lasting positive difference through environmental action and service.
