About This Project
The goal of ItStartsWith.Us is to build a global community of individuals focused on making a positive impact in the lives of the people around them.
Each and every one of us has the ability to change the world by touching lives in this way. And when we hear stories about the positive things others are doing, we become more aware of the opportunities we have to make a difference for the people around us.
In addition to the global team of thousands of people who join together each and every week to make a difference in this world, check out the spinoff groups below! These groups do some powerful things for people who are going through a tough time in life.
Love Drop
Spend a dollar, change a life! You can join the team for as little as one dollar a month. Each month we focus on changing one family’s life by easing their financial burden and plugging them into a caring community.

Additionally, I work with all kinds of organizations to show them how they can use this concept of micro-giving among digitally connected people to make a huge difference in their community.
We’re changing the world, in just 15 minutes a week.
