Welcome to International Find the Good Day: A Celebration of Compassion, Community, and Positive Change!

Find the Good Day is on Thursday, September 17, 2026

Now more than ever, the world needs greater optimism, positivity, and resilience. Optimism has been proven to positively impact our health, motivation, outcomes, and performance. There is a certain bravery that comes with a positive outlook, it’s much easier to have a negative attitude and give up. Join us every September in embracing the spirit of kindness and empowerment as we commemorate this special occasion that echoes the core values of the Junior Leagues across the world. Find the Good Day is not just a date on the calendar; it’s a movement that reflects the timeless spirit of Junior Leagues – a legacy of kindness, empowerment, and community transformation. Together, we aim to make a difference by embracing the power of unity, positive change, and finding the good.
