  Evan Dougoud, the Innovator Behind BeHeard Movement

  Jun 1, 202635 min

  Evan Dougoud started BeHeard Movement after listening to young people experiencing homelessness say they wanted people to understand what life looked like from their side. That listening turned into action. Today, BeHeard Movement brings mobile showers, laundry, haircuts and case management directly to neighbors in Tulsa and Oklahoma City. On this episode of the Live United Podcast, Evan talks about the start of BeHeard Movement, the Social Innovations grant that helped the work grow, and the new idea now taking shape in Tulsa. The world’s first virtual volunteer vending machine will give people access to basic needs after hours. A person can walk up, request help, and connect with a volunteer by video. That volunteer could be in Tulsa or across the country. For Evan, the goal is simple. Help should be close enough for someone to reach it when they need it most.
