We are thrilled to welcome new partner organization Divergent Spirit! Divergent Spirit’s mission is to empower young neurodivergent minds to identify and advocate for their own unique values, strengths, and goals by sharing radical wisdom based storytelling, play, art, and belonging. Divergent Spirit was founded by Rev. Alisha Mills, an interfaith minister, chaplain, and spiritual formation leader. 

Starting this year, it will be easy to remember the week and plan to attend offered activities as we decided to always launch around World Kindness Day, November 13 to further the ripple effect of kindness. Additionally, a fixed date supports our partner organizations with their annual program planning.

For Random Acts of Kindness Day, members of our Board shared their past, present, and upcoming kind acts and grateful moments via simple sticky notes gifted to others. Thank you to The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation’s comprehensive website with tons of ideas to “make kindness the norm,” on those special days and every single day of a year.
