- EnCouraging Today’s Heroes / Inspiring Tomorrow’s
Click on an image to find out what that Giraffe did.
This nonprofit honors Giraffe Heroes—people who have the courage to stick their necks out for the common good, in the US and around the world.
When we tell Giraffe stories in social media, others are moved to stick their necks out too, helping solve public problems important to them. Our classroom materials, books, blogs, and speeches help people succeed as change-makers.
As long as there are Giraffes, there's hope.
Telling the stories of heroes may be the oldest strategy in the world for motivating people into brave, compassionate action—and it works.
We offer you here—
- A free storybank of those real heroes. It's searchable—so you can easily find Giraffe Heroes by gender, location, age, etc. Want a collection of heroes' stories focussed on the environment? Or women's issues? Or peace-making? Or whatever? A few clicks and you've got them.
- A way to nominate a hero you've spotted
- Materials for classrooms from kindergarten through high school, some in Spanish as well as English, even one lesson in German.
- Speakers for events
- Coaching tips to help you move into action yourself on problems that concern you
- News from our global partners
- Stories of courageous compassion that little kids can listen to, and
- Cool stuff you can buy—shirts, buttons, stickers and such.
- All those who/what/why details you can check out when you have time.
- As long as there are Giraffes, there's hope.
- You can help us keep on giving hope to the world.
