"It's about time!" That is what most people say about what you are about to experience.
The Kindness Revolution™
Based on the best-selling book by Ed Horrell of the same name, The Kindness Revolution™ is a non-profit, member-based initiative.
The Cause
Our mission is to raise the awareness of values, such as kindness, in leadership, customer service, schools, and communities.
This is accomplished in three ways:
- Through our regular “Celebrations of Kindness”, with which we recognize unsung individuals and organizations for their kindness,
- Through our “It’s Cool to be Kind” student initiative, with which we teach students how respectful behavior can lead to opportunities,
- And through our “Spirit of Kindness" magazine, with which we tell stories of good things happening in our communities.
You CAN Make A Difference!

Your support of The Kindness Revolution™ allows us to teach students around the country that education + respectful behavior = opportunities. Our "It's Cool to be Kind" program teaches the same behavior desired of the leading customer service providers and prepares them for the workplace.
Read this quote from Utah State Office of Education Character Education Homepage:
Quality character education helps schools create a safe, caring and inclusive learning environment for every student and supports academic development. It fosters qualities that will help students be successful as citizens, in the workplace, and with the academic curriculum. It lays the foundation to help students be successful in all of the goals we have for our public schools. It is the common denominator that will help schools reach all of their goals!
CHARACTER EDUCATION IS NOT ONE MORE THING ON YOUR PLATE! IT IS THE PLATE!!!”
Your Membership also supports our "Spirit of Kindness" awards where we recognize individuals and companies for their displays of values, such as kindness, in their leadership and service.
Our Members are growing each day and sharing kindness with their employees, co-workers, families, and guests.
Won't you join us and make this happen in YOUR community?(we'll provide the tools to get you started!)
