Who are we?
Smile Project is a global, youth-led network built to help young people turn their ideas for positive impact into real, functioning projects. We operate like a Y Combinator for youth-led volunteering and social impact: rather than simply plugging into opportunities that already exist, young people can bring their own ideas, find other motivated people to work with, receive structure and support, and build initiatives from the ground up in their schools, cities, or countries. Our goal is to create an international ecosystem where young people are not just volunteers, but founders and leaders of their own initiatives.
What do we do?
We give young people the network, structure, and opportunities they need to turn an idea into measurable impact. Members can join and contribute to existing projects, while others can take on more senior roles coordinating teams and initiatives across schools, regions, and countries. Smile Project operates through local communities that are all connected to one global network, which means an idea that starts in a single school or city can be shared, replicated, or expanded elsewhere. By connecting young people, schools, organizations, and partners around the world, we make it easier for ambitious young people to start something meaningful and grow it well beyond their original community.

Become a member
A Member is anyone who joins Smile Project to create meaningful initiatives, make a positive impact in their community, and become part of a global movement driven by action. Members are encouraged to develop their own projects under the Smile Project identity, transforming ideas into real initiatives that benefit others. Whether it is organizing a local event, supporting a charitable cause, launching a community campaign, or creating a completely new project, every initiative contributes to the mission of spreading positivity around the world. At Smile Project, we believe that great ideas deserve the opportunity to grow. That is why we will support you throughout the process, helping you refine your idea, develop your project, and bring it to life with the resources, guidance, and community behind Smile Project. Members proudly represent the organization by displaying the Smile Project logo during approved initiatives, helping build a globally recognized movement united by kindness, creativity, and purpose. A Member is the foundation of Smile Project. Members join a global community dedicated to turning ideas into meaningful initiatives that create a positive impact. Every project, no matter its size, contributes to building a movement driven by kindness, creativity, and action. As a Member, you can create and lead your own initiatives under the Smile Project identity while proudly displaying the Smile Project logo during approved projects and activities. You will receive guidance and support from our community to help develop your ideas, connect with like-minded people around the world, and turn your vision into reality. Every initiative you create becomes part of a growing global network of positive change. Anyone can become a Member.

If you have an idea that can positively impact others, Smile Project is here to help you bring it to life.

Become an ambassador
An Ambassador is a selected member who represents Smile Project and coordinates Members across a specific school, city, community, or area. Ambassadors help organise local activity, support new initiatives, and ensure that Members have the guidance they need to develop their projects. As an Ambassador, you will lead and connect Members within your assigned area, help them turn their ideas into action, promote collaboration, and represent Smile Project at local events and initiatives. You may also identify new opportunities, welcome new Members, and communicate progress to the wider leadership team. Ambassador roles are not automatically granted. To apply, you must first be an active Smile Project Member and demonstrate commitment, responsibility, and the ability to support others. Applications are reviewed to ensure that each Ambassador is prepared to represent the organisation and lead their local community effectively.

Become a director
A Director is an experienced leader responsible for overseeing Ambassadors within a city, region, or country. Directors ensure that Smile Project continues to grow by coordinating local leadership, supporting new initiatives, and maintaining the organisation's standards across their area. As a Director, you will manage and mentor Ambassadors, help expand Smile Project into new communities, oversee ongoing projects, and work closely with the Global Executive Team to achieve the organisation's mission. Directors play a key role in building strong local networks and ensuring that every Ambassador has the resources and support needed to succeed. Director positions are available by application or appointment and are reserved for outstanding Ambassadors who have consistently demonstrated leadership, commitment, and the ability to guide others. Only experienced Ambassadors are considered for this role, ensuring that every Director has first-hand experience leading within Smile Project.
04
Become a partner
A Partner is an institution that collaborates with Smile Project to empower young people and support meaningful initiatives within its community. Partner organisations share our values and help create opportunities for Members to develop projects with real social impact. As a Partner, your institution becomes part of the Smile Project network, providing a platform for students or members to launch initiatives, participate in community projects, and connect with a growing international movement. Partners may host events, support local Chapters, encourage student participation, and collaborate on projects that align with the mission of Smile Project. Partnerships are established through an application and review process to ensure a strong alignment of values and objectives. We welcome schools, universities, charities, companies, and other organisations that are committed to inspiring the next generation of changemakers.
