Kindness Matters

Acts of kindness and service create big waves.

When kids help others, the world gets brighter.

It all starts with one act.

 

Take the Challenge!

Our kids have a challenge for you: pick one act of kindness or service each week—or even every day! It’s easy to make a difference with something as simple as a smile, a note, or a compliment. Need inspiration? Check out the ideas below to get started! Feeling extra proud of your act? Snap a photo or video and share your story with us—we might feature it! Tag us @kidswhogivenonprofit or email us your story. We can't wait to hear your stories!

​

Ideas:

• Give someone a genuine compliment.

​

• Hold the door open for others.

 

• Pick up litter.

 

• Help someone with homework or chores.

• Share toys, games, or books.

​

• Make a friendship card or drawing for a classmate.

 

• Donate gently used clothes, toys, or books.
