Join the global hug team and be a part of our mission to sow the seeds of LOVE and kindness through the power of a simple hug. In 2008, I mustered the courage to offer hugs, despite my initial fears, and it transformed my life, connecting me more deeply with humanity than ever before.
Why do we do this? We believe that when people truly feel seen, the likelihood of self-harm or harm to others diminishes. A hug, in its simplicity, is our favorite way to achieve this. Will you stand with us in spreading this message?
There are two meaningful ways to get involved:
Register to share hugs during Global Hugs Weekend, which takes place on the first weekend of May each year.
Enlist in our Million Hug Movement. What does that entail? Keep track of the hugs you offer, capture a photo, and share them with us to contribute to the Hug-O-Meter count. You can still participate in Global Hugs Weekend, embrace the act of hugging throughout the year, and recount a significant hug story. Whether you count one hug or a hundred, what truly matters is the connection. While photos are not obligatory, they are encouraged.
Lastly, we invite you to share this initiative and encourage your family and friends to join the embrace movement. Together, let's create a world filled with more LOVE, one hug at a time.
