We strongly believe that throughout negative times, it is imperitive to stay positive and be kind to not only yourself but the people around you.

Whether it be something as simple as leaving a positive note around your school/office or something as big as joining a mission program across the globe, you can make a difference. To show this, Project Encouragement will be hosting monthly positivity challenges for anyone ready to get involved.
I pledge to spread encouragement everywhere I go. Whenever I witness any sort of negativity—be it physical, verbal, online, or through any other medium—I will always stand up for any of the individuals experiencing trouble. By doing so, I will join the countless others who are working to spread positivity throughout the world.Furthermore, I pledge to be an activist in my community, and to serve as a resource for anybody in need of encouragement. Using the power of positivity and my own ability to create change, I will strive to resolve bullying, self-hatred, low self-esteem, and any other negative social issues whenever and wherever I can.Finally, I will share my choice to take this pledge on my various social media outlets, encouraging others to take this pledge as well, thus furthering Project Encouragement’s ultimate goal of establishing a culture of kindness and compassion throughout the world.
