Will Hutcherson

Will is an author, speaker, and business owner. Will and his wife Arianne, own and operate Simple Social, a digital marketing company with clients across the country. Will has worked with kids and teenagers over the last 15 years, many of those serving as an executive of programming for teens in various non-profits.

Over the past several years he has become increasingly passionate about finding practical ways to bring hope to kids and teens who are facing increasing amounts of anxiety, depression, and despair. This led to him starting Curate Hope, along with Malike. Will seeks to build a bridge between schools and families that are navigating this mental health crisis. Every year, Will speaks to thousands of teenagers in public schools across the country, letting them know that there is always hope.

what

we do

Learn More

We created Curate Hope to gather hope for students. Our goal is simple: partner brilliant mental health professional expertise with professional communicators and entertainers to create a powerful, memorable presentation that gives students hope.

Our presentations are a blend of inspiration, hope, and high-energy fun. We begin each student presentation with high-energy icebreakers and humor. Our key messages are centered around hope and giving practical tools to overcome life’s challenges. Each one of our student presentations are developed by a team of collaborators of mental health professionals, educators, and communicators. Afterwards, we test our presentation with student groups to measure our desired outcomes before offering it to schools.

This is to ensure our content is always helpful, not hurtful. We choose our words carefully, to promote hope and inspire students to talk to a trusted adult about why they are hurting.
