Caring Cowboys

Three schools on one campus, find common ground and spread kindness throughout the West side school and community. The Caring Cowboys have been sending KissesForKindness.com and seeking advice from the community on how to combat cyber bullying with the greatest weapon of all- love.

Be A Voice

Be a voice, be yourself, raise awareness and take action – you’re the change for kindness.

We Hear You

“We Hear You” is an educational campaign to raise the levels of consciousness on the negative use of social media and its direct link to cyber bullying.

The Wallflower Initiative

The Wallflower Initiative hopes to use social media to connect generations through stories of hope and inspiration, spread positivity in our school and plant the seeds for wider change within our community.

F.L.Y.

F.L.Y. (FRIENDSHIP LIES IN YOU) is promoting a Kindness Week to create new friendships, unity, and a culture of empathy.

I challenge you, the students of Washington DC, to leverage technology and design a platform to engage with youth from around the world. This platform should be scalable and convince high school students, and society at large, that engaging with people from different cultures should be the norm.

PEACE

PEACE (People Exploring A Country Everyday) encourages students from across the world to interact with one another, both inside and outside of school, with our app in order to explore different cultures, eliminate stereotypes, and discover similarities/differences through interactive games, forums, and shared photographs.
