Good Deed Hunting

Our Story

We are a small, growing family, fortunate to be surrounded by many good things. We are hoping to broker goodness, using Good Deed Currency, for the benefit of disadvantaged and at-risk youth in our community, especially those involved with The Children’s Cabinet. The purpose of Good Deed Hunting is to find and reward young people who are doing good things for disadvantaged youth, while connecting them to community leaders and their positive future. Good Deed Hunting, Inc. was inspired by youth, created by youth, for the benefit of youth.

Good deed hunters seek and encourage good – everywhere, in everything and at all times.

We hope you join us!

Our Plan

The purpose of Good Deed Hunting is to find and reward youth who are doing good things for other youth while connecting them to our community, our community leaders and their future.
To accomplish this goal, we should consider a new type of currency – good deed currency.
Youth will do good things because it feels good, because it’s good for others and because it’s good for the community.
Youth are more likely to repeat good things with meaningful and sustained positive reinforcement.
Youth should know first-hand that good things are appreciated by the community, especially the leaders of the community.
Youth need immediate rewards and recognition from their community and community leaders in return for the good things.
To feel more connected with and personally see the fantastic potential in our community youth, our community leaders need to have more meaningful contact and relationships with good hearted youth.
Community leaders include leading institutional officials, educators, scientists, businesspeople, trade/expert professionals, public/government officials, athletes and entertainers (“Community Leaders”).
Community Leaders want to reward youth for doing significantly “good things.”
Rewards must be random, but significant, for youth who are doing significantly “good things.”
The significantly “good things” which are worthy of rewards should be judged by independent and reputable mentors, teachers, counselors, judges and other leaders in the community.
The “rewards” for the “good things” come in three forms: (a) goods (such as coffee, shoes, clothing, electronics, event tickets, music, etc…); (b) experiences (i.e. time) with interesting Community Leaders; and (c) scholarships.
Good things should benefit disadvantaged youth.
We should encourage advantaged youth to reach out to disadvantaged youth.
Youth benefitted by the “good things” will be youth who have some disadvantage or need for the “good thing.”
The disadvantaged youth receiving the goods things should also meet with Community Leaders and should be encouraged to work with other disadvantaged youth.
Good Deed Hunting will connect youth with our Community Leaders in a meaningful way, not only for the benefit of the youth but also for the Community Leaders.
An opportunity to spend meaningful time with Community Leaders will give youth real incentives to do good things and, in turn, community youth will help create a more desirable community in which Community Leaders operate.
Community Leaders will be encouraged to ask good-hearted youth about how to improve the community, thus benefitting the Community Leaders and the community. And keeping Community Leaders in touch with the youthful community.
Significantly, we are hoping that experiences allow Community Leaders to communicate how appreciative we are of our youth – our future. We will encourage our Community Leaders to directly communicate their thankfulness and commitment to our youth - our future.
At the end of the year, youth who have done significantly “good things” will be eligible to participate in a youth leadership program and scholarship awards. There will be names for the scholarships, representing classes such as civic good deeds, creative good deeds, social good deeds, scholarly good deeds, etc...
Good Deed Hunting will solicit, acquire and collect the rewards.
Good Deed Hunting will deliver all rewards to Charitable Beneficiaries for distribution by independent and reputable mentors, teachers, counselors and leaders to youth.
Charitable Beneficiaries will follow recommendations of independent and reputable mentors, teachers, counselors and leaders in making distributions unless there is reason to believe it is inappropriate.
