ALIGN With Kind

Empowering youth to drive social change.

Align With Kind means that you live life in a kind, compassionate, and empathetic way.

Imagine how different our classrooms, schools, communities, and world would be if everyone were to Align With Kind. These programs are designed and developed for specific populations in our schools and communities. The PEER Kindness team will provide you with the knowledge and resources to be an agent of change, and to be the "i" in kind.

Report Bullying

How it Happened


In 2018, a group of local high school students presented a problem to us: “We are cruel to each other when no one is around and we want to change that.” In that moment, “Align with Kind” was created. Soon after, a logo and t-shirts were designed and Caring for Colorado Foundation awarded PEER Kindness $30,000 to get the program started. Intentional recruitment efforts began across school grades, school locations, school settings and school interests (no small feat) in hopes of capturing ALL youth voices in an organized, youth-led advisory board.

GET INVOLVED

The purpose of Align With Kind is to create a safe inclusive environment for all.

How we do it:


  • Empower students to make a difference in our community by choosing to be positive, encouraging, empathetic, respectful, and kind though compassionate acts of service.


  • Create a community-wide campaign that focuses on being kind to self and others.


  • Get students at the table with adults when key decisions are made about school life


  • Build inclusiveness in school cafeterias and lunchrooms.
