About

Give your time to share kind words, positive messages, and community connections to bring smiles to your neighbors through Notes of Hope!

Get Started
This is a great activity to get in touch with your creative side! You can make as many cards as you like during this volunteer project. We recommend writing about 5 to 10 notes or letters to be able to share Notes of Hope with many northern Nevadans. Your letters can be handwritten, typed, include fun colors, fun paper designs, or whatever comes to mind with the goal being to spread joy! Be as creative as you like, and please keep the following in mind:

Use encouraging and positive language
Think of this Note as sharing a smile with a stranger in our community

****In order for UWNNS to use the Notes of Hope, volunteers must put time and effort into each note. UWNNS cannot accept notes which reflect little to no effort. UWNNS will not verify volunteer hours for notes which do not meet basic quality standards. UWNNS will also not verify volunteer hours if the number and quality of notes submitted do not match the number of volunteer hours requested****
