Program areas at The Be Kind People Project
Be Kind: at The core of The program is The Be Kind pledge to help kids understand what it means to Be Kind by pledging to Be encouraging, Be supportive, Be positive, Be helpful, Be honest, Be considerate, Be thankful, Be responsible, Be respectful, and Be a friend. They learn and practice The emotional and interpersonal skills needed to make these values an integral and ongoing part of their lives. It is a positive, action-based, innovative solution for ameliorating unwanted school and personal behavior, often manifested as bullying, and learn what it means for them to "Be Kind People." Bringing The pledge to life is The Be Kind crew, a group of gifted young hip hop performers who imaginatively convey The kindness message and connect with students in contemporary ways that kids find engaging, relevant (con't on sch o) and fun. They serve as positive and amazingly "cool" behavior role models for students.
