PROGRAMS
Kindness Is FreeKindness Is Free is a transformative initiative that aims to empower the next generation of youth by instilling values of equality, respect, and compassion for others. It encourages self-reflection and promotes treating everyone with fairness and empathy.
KINDNESS HISTORY
The Kindness Program was created and established in the year 2020 by Lori Milgard and CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of WSGV JR Dzubak. The Be Kind program, later renamed Kindness is Free Program was designed to teach students how to look inward, show respect, treat everyone equal, and be considerate of others. The focus is to provide tools to empower students and create a better understanding of Kindness through mindfulness and other activities which can drastically improve social & emotional behavior and create safer Clubs and communities at large.
THE KINDNESS MISSION
The Kindness is Free Program seeks to empower the next generation by teaching kindness and bringing awareness to its importance in the equal treatment, respect, and consideration of others. Through presentations, pop-ups, and special pledge events, our movement is spreading the imperative of kindness in Malibu and beyond and is inspiring youth and people of all ages to take the charge.
THE KINDNESS PLEDGE
The Kindness Pledge is at the heart of our kindness program and we invite everyone to take part! The pledge is short, universal, and is intended to inspire all members of the community. The pledge touches on the three keys to kindness and gives the person taking the pledge the opportunity to make a public declaration of their promise to be kind. As soon as someone officially pledges, they are gifted a kindness pledge card, commemorating their commitment to the mission.
