Happy Human Project (HHP)

Our society is a student led initiative that works to bring students together who are passionate about promoting positive mental health and fundraising for their communities. We have the slogan of 'uniting for the greater good' which means that we bring students together in spaces where they can feel happy by doing collective good with others. Students can make friends through our society and events while also feeling a greater sense of good by knowing that each of our events are in support of a local non-profit. We benefit the Dalhousie community, especially incoming first years, as we provide the opportunity to make connections with others in calm and fun environments. We have also collaborated with other societies like Dal run club, run for her, and Jack.org! We have held kindness card making sessions, study nights, puppy yoga, nature walks, and done volunteering with the loaded ladle as well as phoenix youth. Student members in our society have the opportunity to help plan an organize each of our events as well as work as a team to find the proper resources for event management. Students can chose an area or topic that interests them that relates to our mission of building positive mental health amongst students while engaging in charity work, and which would also be beneficial to the Dalhousie student population. Then in smaller groups they take the lead on organizing the event. It is not only a great growth opportunity for a lot of students but it provides strong teamwork and community building.
