A face scattered with pimples can create a devastating shield, suppressing a teenager’s potential to develop self esteem, resulting in a rapid progression of sadness, shame and negative attitudes.

Happy people are typically successful, productive, responsible citizens and more likely to display empathy and compassion. Project Happy Face spreads smiles through our communities one face at a time.

Amy teaches students the importance of civility and encourages them to give back to their communities.

“I want these kids to learn that fostering humanity is the golden ticket that many people have simply forgotten about. I want to change the way our future generation treats and feels toward others,” said Snow.

Project Happy Face believes all of the essential components necessary for a happy life begin with a smile. When a teenager looks in the mirror and identifies a clearer complexion it facilitates a positive growth and increases confidence in them. Students are more likely to invest their time studying, establish relationships with teachers, and create meaningful contributions to their communities.
