Hershey is excited to announce the expansion of the Heartwarming Project Action Grants program which celebrates teens who take action in their homes, schools and communities to increase connection, empathy and inclusion. This year, they will select 500 teens across the U.S. and Canada to receive $250 action grants to spark connection and create community where they live. Last year, nearly 300 teens received grants to jumpstart amazing projects—such as starting kindness clubs, creating “well-being lounges” to combat stress in high schools, and hosting fun “come as you are” events focused on inclusion. This year, they're excited to celebrate even more teens who are finding creative ways to connect and build community during these times.
On May 15, 2020, Hershey partnered with WE for a Facebook Live virtual event for teens featuring WE Ambassadors, students, well-being experts, and more on the power of connections as we navigate this challenging time together.
