Kindness Week 2026!

We invite community members, organizations, and businesses to all come together to celebrate our 9th Annual Kindness Week during November 7-14, 2026!

KINDNESS WEEK is a community celebration to shine the spotlight on the good that happens every day and inspire people to spread kindness through their own actions and connect with others to help us fulfill Spark's mission of creating a community where no one feels alone, bullied, unsupported or unconnected.

Stories of Kindness

During Kindness Week, Spark invites community members and students to come together to share stories that highlight what kindness really means in our daily lives. These stories help us see how kindness isn’t just something big or formal—it’s the little things, like an encouraging word, a shared smile, or someone stepping up when it matters. By sharing what kindness has meant to each of us, we hope to grow more connected, more understanding, and more inspired to spread kindness ourselves.
