Ready to be inspired? Check out this idea from an elementary student in our social impact program with the YMCA of Greater Richmond
🤔 His concern: the lack of kindness he witnessed in daily interactions
💡 His solution: The Peacemaker Box
🤩 How does it work: kids write an act of kindness they did or saw others doing that day and put them in the Peacemaker Box. At the end of the week, there will be a collection of acts of kindness for teachers or coaches to read aloud. The learning community gets to celebrate one another and there is an opportunity to reward kids for doing good things.
💙 Finding ways to build an environment that centers kindness and collaboration? We're here for it! 💙
