Jacob Wetterling Resource Center

To remember and honor Jacob's hope for our world, there are a number of ways you can help or contribute.

Be part of the #11forJacob movement

Jacob Wetterling loved sports. His dad coached his soccer team. He wanted to be a football player. He was a skilled hockey goalie. Jacob also believed in a fair and just world, a world where all children know they are special and deserve to be safe.

We ask you to be part of #11forJacob.

This movement centers around 11 simple traits that Jacob valued:

Be fair
Be kind
Be understanding
Be honest
Be thankful
Be a good sport
Be a good friend
Be joyful
Be generous
Be gentle with others
Be positive

Bring #11forJacob to your school, business or organization. Download the poster or flier and share the movement.

Remember and use these traits in your family or organization. Add the number 11 somewhere at your next game, concert or event to show your commitment to making the world a better place for kids and then share with us on social media at #11forJacob or #JacobsHopeLives.
