The Growing Goodness Project
The Growing Goodness Project is a movement to help the next generation discover what matters most:
Kindness. Gratitude. Service. Positive Self-Talk.
We partner with schools to help students and teachers begin each day with the right mindset, something students need now more than ever, as mental health challenges continue to rise.
By building positive habits at a young age, A Simple Seed helps rewire the brain to see the good in themselves and in the world. These lessons don’t just shape days, they shape lives.
To date, we've impacted over 40,000 students. Our goal: 1,000,000 lives touched.
Because when we plant the right seeds early, we grow a brighter future for all.
