Heroes Around Me

An International Initiative to Honor Heroes in Your Community
About the Program

At Heroes Around Me (HAM), our mission is to celebrate and document the stories of everyday heroes around the world, fostering a global community of inspiration and connection. Through interviews, writing, and multimedia projects, we empower students to recognize and honor individuals who make a positive impact in their communities. By sharing these stories, we aim to bridge cultural gaps, promote empathy, and inspire the next generation of leaders to value and emulate the heroic acts of those around them.

How We Do It

  1. Identify local heroes

  2. Conduct interviews and document their stories

  3. Create multimedia projects

  4. Share stories with the global community
