Hopeful Cities™, an iFred.org project, was created based on research that suggests that hope is a teachable skill. It launched the first-ever Hopeful City of Reno, Nevada. It was created as a marketing plan in action that operationalizes hope as it creates awareness about its importance.
Hopeful Cities is a website full of resources any city can implement and aims to equip the “how-to” of hope wherever it is needed: in the workplace, community, schools, and at home.

Activating Hope with Hopeful Cities
You can’t wish for a Hopeful City. Hope takes action. Hopeful Cities provides a Playbook of ways to activate hope in your community. Every resource offered through Hopeful Cities can be downloaded for free or purchased for professional copies. It is up to you – the whole idea is to get hope for all that need it, and all start working together and practicing these skills.
Hopeful Cities can be implemented through:
1. Government
2. Science
3. Education
4. Workplace
5. Art
6. Awareness
