who we are

The Society of Good People is a nonprofit organization and a social movement of people who wish to make the world a better place. We build a world free from abuse, loneliness, and online harm through acts of service.


Together, we strive to create an universal understanding of what it means to be a good person and to bring back decency and dignity.


Our most important consideration is the safety of women of all ages but especially young women. We provide and finance self-defense courses, encourage and drive martial arts enrollment, and fundraise for scholarships for martial arts classes.

What we believe in:


We are no religion and no political ideology.


We are  fellowship of good & decent people, encouraging acts of service.



We believe in shared human values that transcend cultures and beliefs. Honesty, courage, compassion, respect, grace and mercy – these are the cornerstones of a just and thriving society. The Codex Project is dedicated to documenting these fundamental principles, creating a shared moral compass we call The Codex.


A common universal moral compass allows us to recognize each other across faiths, ideologies, and cultures,  and reminds us of all the truly important things we have in common.  With knowledge and consent, it also introduces something we feel has disappeared from this world: accountability.



We wonder, "what if more kids were like Daniel from Karate Kid?" and created a new form of honor roll, The League of Champions, to foster excellence, character development and, charitable acts-of-service in our youth, regardless of background.


In our program Power Only Yields to Power we actively promote and foster martial arts and self-defense for girls and women to improve safety from sexual and physical abuse.


We see men of all ages grappling with loneliness and mental health. We firmly believe that young men need healthy male role models but the mental health crisis of good men is robbing them of this gift. Our mission is to tackle these challenges head-on by promoting positive masculinity. We create safe spaces and supportive networks, connecting men with peers and mentors. 


We recognize the importance of combating loneliness and isolation, especially among older adults. Our program fosters meaningful connections between young people and seniors through acts of service.  One key focus is empowering seniors with digital literacy. We equip them with the skills to navigate technology safely, protecting them from scams and disinformation.



We are the Society of Good People. Welcome to our webpage.

    Depression and Hope: Finding Light in the Darkness
    By Sebastian Rako February 12, 2024
    In a world seeking universal ethical principles, the Codex Commonwealth has emerged as an Oath Confederacy dedicated to discovering "The Codex" – a universal code of virtues defining what it means to be a "good human." Central to this pursuit is The League of Champions, a global assembly of extraordinary professionals who pledge to contribute their expertise and embody the virtues enshrined in The Codex. This elite collective transcends borders, uniting lawyers, doctors, educators, and experts across disciplines. Chosen through a rigorous process assessing reputation, merit, and ethical conduct – not wealth – League members vow to uphold The Codex's principles, serve as role models, and mentor future generations. With an unwavering commitment to virtue, The League of Champions stands as a transformative force, shaping a paradigm where universal virtues guide personal, professional, and societal conduct.

    From Violence to Virtue: Martial Arts & Character Development
    By Sebastian Rako November 4, 2023
    From Mandalorians' "This is the Way" to historical "Oath Confederacies" and "Codex Commonwealths," the idea of a society bound by shared values and an oath is alluring. Could this translate to the modern world? Challenges abound: defining core values, ensuring fair enforcement, and overcoming resistance. However, fostering inclusivity, adaptability, and open dialogue might create a more meaningful society. Careful consideration of economics, education, technology, and potential abuse is crucial. Can such a system truly thrive? The answer remains an open invitation for exploration and discussion.
