Everyday People, Everyday Heroes
Some heroes wear capes—but the ones who inspire us most are often the people we see every day. They are the friends who lift us up, the teachers who believe in us, the families who keep us going, and the students who find their courage in the face of challenges.
This campaign was inspired by Playing for Change’s moving rendition of “Everyday People.” Their song reminds us that music and art have the power to connect us, to open hearts, and to create change. We carry that same belief into our work with students. When young people feel safe and supported, they discover their own bravery—and the hero inside them.
Everyday People, Everyday Heroes is a year-long celebration of those moments of courage, kindness, and resilience that shine through in everyday life. Together, we’ll honor students, alumni, staff, and community members who step up for others in big and small ways—and show that heroes are all around us.
Join us in lifting up the voices and stories of everyday people who are heroes in their own way.
Celebrate the Hero in Your Life
Do you know someone whose kindness, courage, or resilience has made a difference in your life or community? Nominate them as an Everyday Hero!
Big or small, every act of support deserves to be celebrated—and your nomination helps us honor the people who inspire us all.
We'll reach out to your hero to let them know how much they inspire you, and they will be featured on our Heroes Wall. Plus, you'll both be entered in our monthly drawing to win a $50 gift card.
