Columbus Kindness Corps

At Seeds of Caring, we believe that all kids can give help sometimes, and all kids need help sometimes. Our Columbus Kindness Corps is over 1,000 kids strong! We welcome individual classrooms as well as entire grade levels to register and use their hearts, hands and minds to reflect and take action on a variety of community needs.

Registration for the 2025-2026 school year is now open.

Through highly interactive lessons, children develop a sense of purpose, grow in empathy, and experience increased self-efficacy as they work together on service projects benefiting local nonprofits. Kindness Corps is a ready-to-implement program that equips your staff with everything needed—supplies, curriculum, and training—to lead six impactful community service projects at no cost to schools eligible for Title 1 schoolwide programs.
