Media attention.
For both you, the Hero as well as the Champion. Everyone loves a positive story, and often projects catch the attention of becoming viral as well as mainstream media.
Do you wish you could make a bigger impact on your community beyond food drives, radio ads, and other passive sponsorships?

Would you like to get better recognition for the contribution you do make to your community?
Do you know someone who sees an opportunity to make your community a better place, but you don’t know how to support them in making it a reality?
Then consider becoming a Community Hero: an innovative way to connect your business with actual positive change in your community!
What is a Community Hero, exactly? How does being one make a difference?
Imagine your customers and clients forming an instant connection between positive change in their community and your brand. Without a lot of time on your part!
Want to start a community farmers market? Build a new park? or create a social gathering place?
Such ideas might seem complicated or downright impossible. But here at the Happy Community Project, we have a proven process that allows these very things to become a reality – without government roadblocks, lack of resources, and other obstacles that often hinder real change.
All we need is a Community Hero like you to sponsor a Community Champion to do this important work:
- Recommend someone to herald the project. Known as a “Community Champion.” Often, it is your employee, but it can be someone else from the local community or we can help you find the right person. We can help you qualify the right person for you.
- Sponsor the Community Champion to go through the Happy Community Process. The fee is $2,800+ taxes.
- Help promote the project through your organization’s social media channels. Don’t worry; we provide support to make this effective and impactful!
We take care of the rest. Your business gets the credit you deserve. Before you make a final commitment on sponsoring the Community Champion – you will have a clear idea of what the project is and who the Community Champion is.

What are the benefits of being a Community Hero?

The Community Champion you sponsor will engage other citizens to create a long-lasting project that strengthens social connectedness, belonging, and caring. Beyond the impact the project has on the community, there are additional benefits as the Community Hero:
Who makes a great Community Champion, and what is the process they will go through?
A great Community Champion is an employee or member of the local community who is passionate about their community and willing to contribute 5 hours a week. No other skills are required! We will qualify them and over 12-14 weeks, they will:
- Seek out and form a Core Group of fellow citizens who engage other community citizens to build a happier community through collaboration, passion, and taking action. Many hands make light work!
- Identify a project that will build a happy community and formulate a plan of access.
- Work 1:1 with our Facilitator 1 hour a week via online training, mentoring, and coaching sessions for 12-14 weeks.
- Between sessions, the Community Champion is expected to apply the learnings in their own community.
- Step by step over a 12 to 14 week period, the community will have developed at least one project that makes their community a happier community.
