Why random notes?
Because people everywhere are looking for encouragement to continue to do their best in a sometimes harsh world. We may not know everyone’s story, but we write notes to connect us through the common things that make us human.Can I write notes?
YES! Random Note Project is free and open for anyone to join. It’s something that can be shared by the whole family, however, we recommend parents participate with their children for their safety and to enjoy the fun. Please add our web address www.randomnoteproject.com to the bottom of your notes so you can see who finds your notes and what it meant to them.What should my notes say?
Whatever is on your heart that is positive and uplifting to someone else. Think of the things you’ve needed to hear when you’ve struggled. Those always make great notes!Should I hide notes so that certain people will find them?
No. Hide your notes at random so that they may be found by strangers who need to see them. Of course, the people in your life deserve to hear kind words too. But, those words don’t have to be random.I found a note—now what?

Random Note project does not support littering or vandalism of any type. We encourage participants to familiarize themselves with the guidelines established by Leave No Trace (www.lnt.org).

Always use removable painter’s tape if adhering notes. Remember, we’re in this to spread kindness!
