We are a global non-profit that seeks to see the world changed through everyday individuals and the impact of volunteering. We believe that through volunteerism, we all can leave a lasting impact and a better future for the next generation.
What started off as a few people looking to bring hope and positivity through stories of people doing good in the world. That evolved when we realized that stories were not enough. What was birthed as The Pen Project has now matured into Inspire GOOD.
WE ARE HERE TO INSPIRE YOU!
The problem the world faces is that many people do not have the time, interest, or understanding of the impact of volunteering. On top of that, many people don't see the personal benefits of volunteering, or are just simply not asked to help. We want to change that!
Who Are We?
What is
Inspire GOOD?
What's a Do-GOODer?
Do GOOD + Share GOOD = Inspire GOOD
DO
Prioritize the action of service for social and community causes.
SHARE
Use our influence and creativity to share the stories of impact.
INSPIRE
Inspire others around the world to join a community of people who use volunteering to create change.
This community is the reason Inspire GOOD exists!
Do-GOODers are crucial members of our team. They are the ones who go out across the globe and, literally, do GOOD.
​
We thought long and hard about the best ways to better and inspire our communities, and the answer was to simply take action! Show people that it really is just that easy, and then challenge them to invite someone join in the fun.
How Do I do GOOD?
FORMALLY
Serve with a particular mission in mind. This could be a simple meet-up, a volunteer trip, a weekly service group, or just a group of friends looking for a place to help their community!
INFORMALLY
This is where living with GOOD in mind matters! This can be picking up trash in your neighborhood, making a meal for a family in need, redirecting a moment in your day or week to help someone in need.
