About

Hi! I’m Nikki. I started the Friendliness Project because I wanted to create a deeper connection with my community in my city. Growing up in a small town, I was used to many friendly faces, which isn’t always the case in larger cities. But I believe we can create a sense of community everywhere we go. For those out there wanting to make the world a better place, share your #friendlinessproject moments on your social channels to inspire others to do the same. Please let me know if you have suggestions on other ways to be friendly and I’ll pass them along.

Nikki Hedstrom, founder of the Friendliness Project
