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.
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.
Such 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, and by giving purpose, offer a path toward hope.
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, hoping to protect them from scams and disinformation.

Explore The Core Pillars of Our Mission
The persistent threat of sexual and physical abuse of girls and women is one of the most pressing problems in our society.
We are done waiting.
We work to empower girls and women through self-defense training, martial arts programs, and a range of initiatives designed to foster confidence and safety.
We dismantle toxic masculinity by equipping boys and young men with the tools to build healthy identities.
Through workshops and activities, and networks of mentors, we help them explore emotional intelligence, empathy, and respect, fostering a new generation of strong and supportive men.
We see our seniors isolated and lonely and we see our youth without wisdom. We believe in the power of connection across generations and its place in a healthy world.
We strive to reduce social isolation among seniors, foster the exchange of wisdom, create a sense of belonging for all generations, and build a stronger, more compassionate community.

Integrity, Honesty, Respect, Courage, Compassion, Honor, Loyalty, ...
We all can instinctively recognize a good person, but find no universally accepted definition of being a "good human".
We believe it is possible to collaboratively agree to such a definition and create a commonwealth of values, in which every member vows to uphold these values and virtues.
This is the Codex Project.
We believe there are few activities more character building than martial arts and we must encourage an almost universal practice and adoption.
We believe it creates well-rounded and courageous members of society, young and old.

#every13minutes, a man commits suicide.
We are facing an epidemic of male loneliness and suicides. Toxic masculinity, mental health, stress, and disorientation have paralyzed men and caused a silent tragedy.
Join us in raising awareness and ending this crisis.
Online abuse, misinformation, and bullying are rampant and widespread.
In 2022, the greatest internet movement of good people came to the defense of Good:
The North Atlantic Fella Organization NAFO

What if more kids were like Daniel from Karate Kid? How can we offer incentives that will reinforce good and positive behavior?
The League of Champions is an Honor Roll which requires young people to meet a certain bar of academic and extracurricular standards, character development, and charitable volunteering.
