Personal Connections, Meaningful Experiences

TKC service projects are aligned with the Illinois State Learning Standards and are developed to cultivate the values of service while supporting student achievement in social and emotional learning.  That is one of the many reasons elementary schools throughout the Chicago area utilize The Kindness Connection's convenient service learning projects, curriculum and resources. 

Reaching Many Through Kindness

Since 2006, The Kindness Connection has reached over 17,000 youth volunteers through 45 schools and organizations, and delivered nearly 30,000 handmade projects to 30 non-profits around the world.  Additionally, TKC has hosted 12 public events, including its Annual Martin Luther King Service Day, drawing people from 25 communities from the Chicagoland area. TKC has also coordinated several corporate events for organizations like Allstate Insurance, Morningstar, BCG, CVS Caremark, and Northwestern University.
