We Train
Everyday Heroes.
Our Mission
Inspired by the heroic imagination in each of us, the purposes of The Heroic Imagination Project are to design innovative strategies to teach heroism and foster heroic behavior by combining psychological research, intervention education, and social activism, support basic and applied research of heroism across disciplines, as well as to maintain networks of heroism practitioners and researchers worldwide.

About Us
Dr. Philip Zimbardo started the Heroic Imagination Project, a nonprofit research and education organization dedicated to training people to act in more heroic ways. Since 2010, HIP has been conducting trainings and workshops for businesses and schools across the United States and many nations around the world. Whether taking on bullying, improving workplace culture, or confronting discrimination, HIP has been committed to teaching skills so people and groups can act heroically every day.
Building Heroes Around the World
The Heroic Imagination has many partners around the world doing good work. These people and organizations have completed HIP training and are certified to create amazing projects in their own communities.
“The opposite of a hero is not a villain;
it’s a bystander.”
