We are committed to cultivating joy, one grateful heart at a time. Our mission is to empower individuals and communities to embrace gratitude and mindful living through transformative and healing experiences in nature. By fostering connection and a deeper appreciation for well-being, we aim to create environments where people can thrive. Our core value—love and kindness—isn’t just a belief; it’s the foundation of everything we do. We trust in the power of gratitude to spark positive transformation, both within ourselves and our communities. This is more than just feeling good—it’s the driving force behind our programs, the energy that brings our community together, and the key to the positive growth we experience collectively.
CULTIVATING JOY ONE GRATEFUL HEART AT A TIME

CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER
At the Gratitude Choice Project (GCP), we go beyond simply saying “thanks.” We believe in the transformative power of seeing each other and our experiences as profound gifts. Our mission is to nurture ourselves, each other, and the natural world through practices that embrace gratitude in its deepest forms.
Love for Each Other: By recognizing and appreciating the unique gift of each person, we cultivate a strong foundation of connection and understanding through shared experiences and communal gratitude. This fosters a community where love, acceptance, and support flourish, creating an environment where everyone feels truly valued. By embracing our authentic selves and the gift of one another, we let gratitude guide us toward meaningful interactions, transformation, and growth.
CONNECT WITH COMMUNITY
Every aspect of our work is infused with the core value of acts of love and kindness towards each other. These acts are the driving force behind our initiatives, projects, and community service and the foundation for the positive transformation we experience together.
Love for Community: We believe in the profound gift of community. By fostering a sense of belonging and connection, we create an environment where mutual respect, support, and appreciation thrive. Our commitment to gratitude extends beyond words into meaningful action. Through initiatives such as our annual food and clothing drive, Community Action Day where we give back to our community, Silent Victim DV Fundraiser Walk, and Alzheimer’s Fundraiser Walk, and so much more, we demonstrate gratitude by giving back and making a tangible impact. These efforts reflect our dedication to supporting those in need while building supportive, equitable communities where everyone can grow and thrive together.
