Adam Haidari
Director of Operations / Co-Founder
In 2017 Adam realized volunteering was missing from his life. He planned to do a little community work each month and began attending one-off community days and opportunities where the results were easily visible. In 2018 Adam worked with organizations such as HATAS and Junior Achievement in Albany, NY. HATAS packed and supplied school children on food assistance programs with food during the summer months. Junior Achievement gave Adam the chance to teach children in the classroom about topics such as finance and home economics.
Adam started to look for chances to have a greater involvement with groups addressing long term problems. In 2021 Adam took Thanksgiving Day to prepare and serve meals at The Dallas 24 Hour Club for neighbors and community members recovering from addictions. At around the same time, Adam worked with numerous charities to humanize the intake of over 2000 Hispanic and Latin American immigrant children at the Dallas Convention Center.
It wasn’t until volunteering in Cyprus at a need based grocery store that Adam realized the necessity of aid and dignity outside of the United States. Adam worked at the entry of the store, categorizing the needs of asylum seekers from Africa and the Middle East, managing intake based on level of need and available resources, but always treated individuals with the dignity and respect they deserve as humans.
Based on the level of involvement with refugees and international relations, in 2022 Adam would need to change jobs from a system engineer with the US Department of Defense, to a position with less risk to national security. He is now a capital project engineer in the pharmaceutical industry and traveled to Ukraine in 2022 and 2024 while launching Alpine Dignity in 2023. The main goals of these trips were to meet and understand donation needs with grassroots organizations in Ukraine, see the country, and create lasting trust and relationships between Alpine Dignity and the groups we support. Adam is a New Hampshire native and enjoys tennis, boxing, horseback riding, and playing hockey.
