We’re raising $50,000 to jumpstart our youth programming for the upcoming 2025–26 school year—fueling the launch of our upcoming clubs and youth ambassador program across schools and communities. Each of these initiatives will equip young people with the tools, space, and support to build meaningful relationships, lead with empathy, and create lasting impact in their communities.
This isn’t just about a number—it’s about starting a movement. Your gift directly powers the fight to end youth loneliness and helps us build a future where no young person feels disconnected or unseen.

how your donation has made impact:
STANWOOD INTER-HIGH EVENT
DISTRIBUTED OVER 10K FREE RESOURCES
Take a look at some of the impact you've helped make over the 2024-25 school year.
Jaxson is a senior at Cascade Highschool in Leavenworth, WA who started following Only7Seconds on social media after he saw some friends posting about the mission. He decided that he wanted to bring Only7Seconds to his school so he started talking to one of his advisors about it.
Together, they decided to host a “self-care” week as a collaborative effort with the clubs at the school and invited us to join them for an assembly! One of our favorite parts of the job is getting to be in-person with students so we loved our time with the Kodiaks! 🐻❤️

This year marked our 3rd year back at Almira Coulee Hartline High School for their annual Wellness Day where students participate in mini-seminars and activities about social health, physical health, and mental health throughout the day. The administration conducts an annual survey gathering feedback from students and here's how students rated the presentation from Only7Seconds on a scale of 1-5.
your support allows us to support projects like "wellness day"
- 100% of students rated it as a 3 or higher
- 94% rated it a 4 or 5
- 58.5% rated it a 5
Every year, we interact and distribute free merch and resources (like our hope notes, wristbands, stickers, lanyards, and more!) Over the last school year, we've given away over 10,000 resources at tabling events, through collaborative partnerships, and individual interactions.
Your donation supports free resources that inspire and remind youth that they matter.
- Our team has worked closely with their team providing professional development & training opportunities as they’ve onboarded the Connection Curriculum.
- We were able to host an assembly with all 9-12th graders where we talked about loneliness and practiced simple tactics for connection.
- Their Student Body Leadership has taken the lead on incorporating the messaging during Spirit Week and have piloted some upcoming student lead initiatives by leading monthly connection activities with their peers.
We frequently have students reaching out with the vision to do something similar in their schools. Your donation enables us to support these student-led initiatives!
your donation of $15 can provide a student with a t-shirt and tangible resources
Only7Seconds has really really helped me in my life and helped me encourage others. I sent one of the Only7Seconds messages it to a few people and one of the people I sent it to said they really needed to hear that. We got to have a great conversation!"
your donation supports kids like zoe, who hear stories from the I know lonely project and get the reminder that they aren't alone in their experiences.
At every event, we ask students (and adults!) to practice our mission by taking 7 seconds to reach out to someone they care about— Here's some stories we've heard after!
Your support allows us to continue to impact lives like aria's.
Your support allows us to continue to meet youth where they are at (whether online, in schools, or at work!).
We have a vision of Only7Seconds absolutely flooding social media feeds, stories, and "for you" pages on May 7th.
post a "7" on may 7
On Wednesday, May 7th, we want as many people as possible to post a "7" representing Only7Seconds, the youth loneliness epidemic, and the importance of taking only 7 seconds to reach out.
