July 12, 2025 | A United Nations–Recognized Global Day of Action
Hope isn’t just a feeling — it’s an action. And the world needs it now.

On July 12, the world will unite to celebrate the first-ever International Day of Hope — a historic moment to teach, measure, and activate Hope as a critical, evidence-based skill for mental health and well-being.
In a time marked by rising hopelessness, we’re inviting individuals, communities, schools, workplaces, and governments to take meaningful action — because hope can be built. And every action you take can spark it.
Join us. Shine Hope. Change lives.
