Our Why
Hopelessness is rising at unprecedented rates around the world, especially among youth. Thus, we aim to ensure everyone is equipped with the skills they need to activate hope, even in the most challenging of times. As part of our mission, we support the International Foundation for Research and Education on Hope (iFred), including their Hopeful Minds® and Hopeful Cities® programming, to ensure youth are taught hope skills at no charge.
