Why Hop It Forward?
Kindness, made visible
Good deeds happen around us all the time, but we rarely get to see them. This experiment leaves a trail you can follow.
Like Flat Stanley, but for kindness
Kids mail a paper Flat Stanley to friends and family and track where he travels. Hop It Forward does the same with good deeds: one card, passed hand to hand, leaving a trail on a map.
A reminder in your pocket
Carrying a Hop Card nudges you to look for a chance to do something kind — and then to pass it on.
Keep it going
Small good deeds matter. The whole point is to keep doing them for each other.
Kindness ideas, if you need one
