What we require:

• Issue a Mayoral Proclamation. A sample of the proclamation can be found here

We additionally recommend each state, state, or school do the following:

• Run the Five Day Global Hope Challenge on Social Media
• Create a sunflower mural in a downtown location
• Teach Hopeful Minds to youth

If you don’t see your country, state, or state on the list of those participating, we ask that you work to activate Hope in leadership by writing a letter to your representative to get involved. Feel free to include specifics on your state, such as statistics on depression or behaviors associated with Hopelessness. Hope Science does not move forward unless leaders are practicing Hope skills and sharing Hope with others.

You can see a sample draft of a letter to your Mayor here, and a list of who to contact as your local representative in the United States here.
