We are so excited to finally be ramping up our in-person events again! In the upcoming months we will be holding two "Let's Collaborate for Kindness" events in conjunction with Anne Arundel County Public Libraries. At these events come spread kindness with Kindness Grows Here and Action for Kindness. Be inspired by the young winners of KGH's Kid Kindness Grants program and create your own BE KIND sign to inspire those in your neighborhood to spread kindness too. Sign supplies and pizza will be provided:

On Friday, April 28t at Deale Library, from 5-7 p.m. Register here.

On Saturday, April 29, at Brooklyn Park Library from 11-1.

We are also in the middle of planning our first ever event in Howard County, Maryland to be held in May/June. Be on the lookout for more details to come!

Why is it Important to Foster Kindness in Kids?

Studies have shown that kids who are intentionally and systematically taught the concepts of kindness and then go on to have opportunities to demonstrate that kindness, develop an enhanced sense of safety, support, and acceptance. (2018, US Department of Education). Additionally, new research shows that "People suffering from symptoms of depression or anxiety may help heal themselves by doing good deeds for others." Kindness isn't just a nice thing to do. It truly helps to improve the health and wellbeing of those who engage in kind behavior. Knowing how impactful kindness can be, we started our Kid Kindness Grant program in 2018.
