When it comes to navigating life’s challenges—big and small—there is no resource more essential than hope. It’s what keeps us going when the going gets tough. But far too often hope can be hard to find, and sometimes we end up feeling hope-less. That’s where Project Hope Exchange comes in.

We are building the world’s largest online collection of Messages of Hope—30-second audio messages of encouragement from adversity survivors to others facing adversities similar to their own.

By collecting, aggregating, and sharing these messages, we aim to be a vital resource for people looking to get hope. But we also have a second goal: to provide a meaningful pathway to advocacy for people looking to give hope. We at Project Hope Exchange believe the two go hand in hand. In fact, we’re convinced that the more hope we give, the more hope we get.

So whether you’re someone in the throes of adversity or an adversity survivor, Project Hope Exchange is here for you. We invite you to leave a message, by following the simple instructions in our “Give Hope” section; listen to a message, by downloading or streaming one of the audio clips in our “Get Hope” section; or do both!

Together, exchanging hope, we can make sure no one ever feels hopeless again!
