Pledge to #ShareKindness to overcome divides in your community
If you're troubled by the deep divisions in our country today — take one simple and powerful action to be part of the solution in your local community.
Pledge to take at least one action to #ShareKindness with a neighbor as we begin 2017. Once you sign your pledge, we'll send ideas for how to get started. Whether you pledge to host a meal, sign up to mentor a child, or simply share a conversation with someone new — your small act can go a long way toward building lasting positive change right in your own backyard.
We know the potential your kindness holds. For more than 160 years, the Y has connected neighbors of all ages and backgrounds, giving them opportunities to make meaningful differences in the lives of others, and to address the most urgent community needs across the country.
At this moment of division, the Y is poised to play a powerful role in bridging the gaps that have divided neighbors in 2016. But we need the support — and kindness! — of people like you to meet this urgent community need. Ready to get started? Sign our pledge to #ShareKindness today.
As the new year begins, I pledge to take at least one action to #ShareKindness in my community. By hosting a meal, signing up to mentor a young neighbor or simply taking the time to introduce myself to a neighbor and have a conversation—a better us is going to start with me.
