Teach your organization to make appreciation a habit.
Our public Hoorays create unforgettable moments. Hooray Academy goes deeper — helping organizations, schools, healthcare teams, and faith communities build cultures where noticing the good becomes part of everyday life.
Why This Matters
Gratitude is a skill — and it can be taught.
Hooray Squad is more than a community movement. It’s a practical framework for helping people notice the good around them and express appreciation in ways that land. Since 2021, we’ve taught children that gratitude is a verb — and along the way we learned something important.
People want to be more appreciative. They just don’t know how to build it into everyday life.
Hooray Squad teaches that skill. The movement and the training strengthen one another — every session introduces new people to Hooray Squad, every Hooray becomes a case study, and every organization becomes another place where people begin to Notice. Thank. Repeat.
Thousands of people noticing the good and saying it out loud — one Hooray at a time.
A week each year when whole communities turn out to celebrate the people who keep them running.
Training that turns appreciation from a nice idea into a daily habit inside your organization.
