AMY WOLFF

  Amy Wolff, a 36-year-old public speaking coach in Newberg, Oregon, is the founder of the Don’t Give Up Movement, a nonprofit sowing seeds of love and hope through inspirational yard signs and other items. In May 2017, Amy was stunned to learn from a church friend and” She recalled a crazy idea she’d had two years before: yard signs as a way of encouraging people. She asked her friend Jessica Brittell, a graphic designer, to create and print 20 signs with the messages “Don’t Give Up,” “Your Mistakes Do Not Define You” and “You Are Worthy of Love.” Amy, her husband and their two daughters knocked on doors around Newberg, asking strangers toput the signs in their yards. Everyone said yes! The community was soon buzzing about the signs. Within a week, Amy had sold 150 signs at cost.
