How to Get Involved: 3 Ways to Join the Rae of Sunshine Movement
You don’t have to be a mental health expert to make a difference.
At Rae of Sunshine Foundation, we believe in the power of community to create change. Whether you’re a student, teacher, parent, or caring neighbor, there’s a way for you to take action and be part of something bigger.
Here are three meaningful ways to join the movement:
🌟 1. Become a Rae of Sunshine Ambassador
Our ambassadors are the heart of our mission—volunteers who spread awareness, uplift others, and inspire change in their schools and communities.
What you can do as an ambassador:
- Share mental health resources and messages of hope
- Lead awareness campaigns or fundraisers
- Help bring Rae of Sunshine programs to your area
- Be a positive presence wherever you are
You'll receive support, resources, and a community of changemakers to grow with.
📚 2. Start a S.M.I.L.E. Club at Your School
S.M.I.L.E. Clubs (Students Mentoring and Inspiring through Leadership and Education) create safe, student-led spaces to talk about mental health and kindness.
We provide everything you need to launch:
- Monthly themes and activity guides
- Simple tools for running meetings
- Ongoing help from our team
- A growing network of like-minded schools
Whether you’re a student or educator, starting a club is one of the most powerful ways to make a lasting impact.

Financial gifts—big or small—help us reach more students, create more resources, and expand our message of hope across Kentucky and beyond.
Ways to give:
- Make a one-time or monthly donation
- Become a corporate sponsor (Silver, Gold, or Platinum levels)
- Dedicate a birthday or event to mental health fundraising
Every dollar helps us bring education, connection, and light where it’s needed most.
