I Smile First

What is I SMILE FIRST?

It’s an initiative that encourages people to be the first to smile in any encounter. Smiling is easy, and it’s free — what a great way to increase happiness and civility in our communities!

Everyone can participate. All you have to do is:

  • Smile at people, regardless of whether they are smiling at you
  • Help people understand the benefits of smiling

To make it easier, I developed I Smile First buttons and cards that you can use to start conversations. Become a Smile Ambassador today! Reach out to Meps for more information.

I Smile First was the recipient of a Burnt Oranges Community Action Grant at AfterBurn: Restoration.
