Our mission is to build a kinder world together - where no one feels alone, bullied, unsupported, or unconnected.
关于我们
Every time we do something that helps a community grow more kind, resilient and welcoming, we SPARK Kindness. Together we can make sure no one feels alone, bullied, unsupported, or unconnected—every day and especially in the most challenging times. Launched to counter cyberbullying in 2010, SPARK Kindness has grown into a nonprofit convener, educator, resource, and friend—and the biggest fan of our community's shared strengths. SPARK Kindness hosts educational speaker events, parenting groups and community service activities to promote connection, and offer support whenever needed. All SPARK programs and resources are FREE thanks to dedicated volunteers, donors, business and philanthropic sponsors, and friends. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, many people were suffering. So many of us felt alone, dealing with bullying, mental health challenges, substance use disorder, and more. More than ever, it’s clear: We need each other. Community helps us survive. To make our way through this moment—and thrive beyond it, as individuals and as a society—we must prioritize and nurture the well being of each child and person in our midst. We must deepen community resilience. We must bridge our gaps, share strengths, and help each other. But how? A unique, grassroots force in the national kindness movement, with a model for promoting positive change that is proactive, strengths and community-based, SPARK Kindness ventures into vulnerable, emotional issues to cultivate skills for caring and equity. We work with schools, parents, and civic institutions. Our “wrap around” programs and resources better equip individuals and communities to create lasting interdependence and connection.
