Project Happiness
My Appeal
The programs and skills that Project Happiness teaches to kids literally saved my life as an adult. It's applicable to all ages, but our youth really need to be equipped to set themselves up for a life where they can be less anxious, depressed and stressed and more engaged, empathetic, self-assured, altruistic and compassionate. My life might have been drastically different if these programs were taught in my schools growing up, but thank God I learned them when I did. We can still help ourselves and the next generation.



Oh....and I'm one of those weirdos who loves to run. :)

My Cause
The Mission: Project Happiness is dedicated to empowering people with the resources to create greater happiness within themselves and the world.
About the Organization: The World Health Organization has declared depression to be the greatest source of human suffering worldwide. An emotional health crisis is currently taking its toll on school-aged children. It takes the form of unprecedented anxiety and epidemic levels of teen suicide, and in milder forms as low self-esteem, bullying, truancy and low-graduation rates.

Project Happiness is working to help create a world where children, teens and adults will be taught to identify and harness their personal strengths, learn emotional regulation and develop the skills for emotional resiliency. Our programs help students become more compassionate to themselves and others, and ultimately channel their new skills towards pro-social behavior at school and in their community. The curriculum is unique in that it is grounded in positive psychology, mindfulness and neuroscience, and uses proven practices to give students a foundation for life.

Your donations will go towards supporting our programs: school curriculum, online course, mental health awareness, behavioral change, global ambassadors, circles educational book club, and grassroots movement.
