New Year, New You, For Good self-improvement campaign, starting Jan. 6

We’re excited to partner with Self Improvement Daily so that you can not only improve yourself to kick off the year, but also make a meaningful impact. Every dollar you invest in New Year, New You, For Good goes directly to support the Lucky Duck Foundation. 

Unlike traditional approaches to setting New Year resolutions that fizzle out by February, this 21-Day New Year Challenge is designed to help you raise your standards for everything you do. Whether your goal is to work out more consistently, break a bad habit, learn a new skill, or simply be more productive, this challenge gives you the tools to build a stronger foundation that supports your growth all year long.

Nearly 1,000 people have already taken on the Challenge, and with Self Improvement Daily’s proven track record of over 20 million podcast downloads, this is your ticket to actually achieving your goals and changing the world while you do it.

Volunteer at We See You San Diego’s dinner party

“We are so excited to partner with and benefit from LDF’s ‘Share Your Luck Season.’ Our weekly dinner is more than just a dinner. Rather, we invite people to leave the streets right then and there, and we cover the cost of their drug and alcohol detox and treatment all the way to getting them fully back on their own two feet. Like LDF, we’re laser focused on providing an immediate pathway off the streets, and we hope many people can volunteer with us to accomplish this work.”

– Laura Chez, Founder & Executive Director, We See You San Diego
