Our Community of Kindness Workshop Program is creating a sense of well-being and community with positive messaging, mindfulness, music and art! The program is available to public schools, libraries, and other nonprofits as support and funding allows.
The workshops begin with active participation to elicit positive feelings and responses. We teach tools to build resilience, help participants understand that kindness starts with themselves, and orchestrate an activity so everyone takes home a tangible reminder.
Educators, community stakeholders, philanthropists and supporters help make the vision a reality so that everyone gets to experience a workshop and create their own positive affirmation connecting them to a larger community movement.
Currently Serving In-Person Locations in Central Maryland (including but not limited to Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Carroll County, Frederick County, Howard County). Online workshop development is underway.

Thank you for being part of the Westminster Kindness Stroll !
Westminster's Kids Lead The Way
Thank you for supporting the 3rd Annual Westminster Kindness Stroll !!
This year was the first year the student artists were able to walk with their BE KIND signs in the Westminster Fallfest Parade, and the public was able to vote for the signs at our Fallfest booth.
This Action For Kindness fundraiser helps us continue the Community of Kindness Workshop Program in local middle schools, and the Kids Kindness Grants Program throughout Carroll County.
You can view the student art and vote totals online here
We look forward to seeing the flags of this year's most voted signs fly on Main Street and the new designs students dream up for next year's signs.
