Meet Zoe
After helping lead one of our very first school-wide Look for the Good® Campaigns, Zoe was invited to share her experience on television. At just eleven, she spoke with such sincerity and confidence that her story helped inspire educators across Connecticut to bring our programs to more schools.
Over the next decade, Zoe continued volunteering for the Look for the Good Project. Today, at 22 years old, she is pursuing a Master's Degree in Social Work, turning her lifelong passion for helping others into a career.
A Childhood Shaped By Service
For Zoe, kindness wasn't a school assignment. It was a way of life.

Eleven years later, Zoe reflects on how those experiences shaped the person she has become.
Why Zoe's Story Matters
We don't expect every child who participates in our programs to become a social worker like Zoe. But we do hope every child grows up believing something that Zoe discovered at the age of eleven:
One person really CAN make a difference.
When children practice kindness, gratitude, and service, they're not simply completing activities. They're developing habits, beliefs, and character strengths that can shape the rest of their lives.
This is why we do this work.
