Kindness is a verb.

In play this season

Your picture of kindness is only one click away.

Spot your organization rolling by? Click it to find your star, then light it.

Kindness organizations weren't found in a day. Neither were these shooting stars.

A night map of the whole United States, Alaska and Hawaii included, with hundreds of lit stars, each an organization, sending lines of light up to a sun labeled A²OKFind your star →

The Sky

512 organizations. One sun.

Every star is a real organization putting kindness into the world. Some are only half lit, because we only know part of their story.

Find your star → Is your organization up there? Light it up.

Don't ask how these memories write themselves on note paper.

Pin an act of kindness →

The Wall

No names. Just what happened.

Someone was kind to you, or you were kind to someone. Pin it to the Wall, anonymously, and let it add to the energy.

You deserve to be seen.

Four minutes a day. That's the whole ask.

Look up. Find someone outside your circle. Do one small kind thing, and don't take credit for it.

Why four minutes? →
