About, Our Methodology

FeelGood is about creating changemakers for the end of hunger and a better world. The image above symbolizes our Changemaker Methodology.

Reality
The bedrock of our process—that which grounds everything we do—is the recognition that we are one human family sharing one finite, interconnected and interdependent planet.

We are one.

The recognition of our unity, we believe, is what inspires and sustains the kind of shift we all need to make in order to end hunger, and secure a better future for all life.

Peak Experiences
To help students connect to that bedrock, we offer a variety of Peak Experiences, inherent in which are opportunities to awaken to the reality of our common humanity, our common home, and to the urgent need to end chronic, global hunger.

Changemaker Academy
These Peak Experiences are then supported and reinforced by the FeelGood Changemaker Academy, which includes our accredited, online, peer-facilitated curriculum, the Changemaker Journey.

Through the Journey, students channel the insights and energy generated by their Peak Experiences into a process of gaining proficiency in three interconnected areas: social entrepreneurship, global citizenship, and the issue of global hunger.

Inspired Action
Proficiency then flowers into mastery as students apply their knowledge and skills to running their FeelGood Grilled Cheese Delis. Not only are all Deli proceeds invested in organizations working for the sustainable end of hunger, but all deli interactions provide an opportunity for dialogue and education—where customers can learn about hunger’s causes, consequences and solutions. 

The Outcome
It is the integration of all these layers—the bedrock of unity, the soil enriched through Peak Experiences, The FeelGood Academy, and Inspired Action—that produces the flowering outcome of dollars and dialogue for the end of hunger, and a skilled generation of changemakers.

This is the FeelGood Changemaker Methodology.
