Hello Neighbor is a creative writing contest for elementary students that celebrates diversity, inclusion, empathy, and kindness. Through storytelling, young writers are invited to imagine worlds where differences are celebrated, new friendships are formed, and small acts of compassion make a big impact.

Whether it’s a story about neurodifferences, making a new friend, or a community coming together, Hello Neighbor encourages children to use their imagination to build bridges instead of walls.

​

Sometimes, all it takes to make a difference is saying, “Hello.”
